Following a Discussion

To encourage participation in discussions, users have the ability to subscribe to a discussion forum and receive notifications on discussion activity via email. Emails are sent when users opt for Email Me Right Away notifications. 

User Notification Settings

Notification options allow users to manage their emails for discussions they follow. To help with consistency, these settings align with the user's settings for their activity stream found on the Bb homepage. 

  • Activity on my responses 
  • Activity on responses I have replied to 
  • Responses from instructors 
  • Responses for followed discussions 
  • Replies for followed discussions 

User notification settings:

  • Discussion activity on the current user’s responses 
  • Discussion activity on responses the current user has replied to 
  • Discussion responses from instructors 
  • Discussion responses and replies for followed
