What can you do inside the Classlist?
Option 1: See last access date/time of a user

In the Classlist where you see a list of users who have access to your class, under the column Last Accessed, you will see date & time when that user last accessed your course. If you see a blank field, means that user never accessed your class at all.

Classlist: user last accessed

Option 2: Sending an email to your class

Sending an email from the Classlist will provide a copy of the email in the Sent label of your MyPCC email, only if you send email to all users or include yourself in the email recipient. There’s no auto save inside Brightspace, so if you’re going to write a long message, use MS Word or Google Doc and copy-paste the text into the email message.

  • Follow this tutorial to learn how to learn how to send email to all users in the Classlist
  • To send an email to an individual, just click on their name from the Classlist.
  • To send an email to a few people, check the box next to their names and click the Email link. You may want to include yourself.
