University Discussion Forums, the digest option

Instead of receiving one email for every message that is posted to the discussion forums, it's possible to choose to receive a daily summary message instead. The email will show the subject and author of each post, with a link to take you straight to that post if you're interested in reading it.

Here's how to switch on that digest mode for the forums...




1. Edit your profile. One easy way to do this is to login to one of the courses in Moodle and you will then see your name at the top right of the window as a link. Click on this link.





2. Click on the Edit profile tab. Under the "Email digest type" heading select the following option from the drop down list:

Subjects (daily email with subject only)

3. Go right to the bottom of the page and click the Update profile button.

And you're done!
