Bb Learn Basics -- Email -- Stopping Emails from Bb Learn
Introduction
If you are a faculty or staff member enrolled in a Bb Learn course shell for review or accreditation purposes, and the Bb Learn course shell is currently being taught, you may not want to receive emails sent from instructors, course assistants, or students in that Bb Learn course shell to instructors, course assistants, and/or all students.
The instructions below explain how to add an email rule or filter to your Drexel exchangeweb email account so that emails sent from a particular Bb Learn course shell are automatically deleted.
Note: When Drexel CCI is upgraded to a new email system by Drexel University IT, these instructions will need to be updated, and customized email rules and filters may or may not be migrated to the new email system. Until then, however, the instructions below should work fine.
Not for Drexel Students
If you are enrolled in a course for credit, you should NEVER do anything to prevent emails sent from Bb Learn reaching you.
