Our faculty are inundated with Populi email notifications whenever students upload an assignment file. I'd like to see this notification feature to be configurable within either <EMAIL> or the <FACULTY> role definition.
If it already is, then I apologize. But it was not when I called in a few days ago.
Thanks, Hunt @ Rivendell Sanctuary
First of all I would like say that we really enjoy the Populi program as a whole and it has already proven to be extremely helpful and user friendly for our students and staff! so thank you for making such a great product that serving us so well. But yes our Faculty is being inundated with email notifications. And as an administrator I am getting sometimes 50-100 populi emails a day as we manage about 65 students and every time someone uploads homework or puts a comment on the discussion board we receive emails. If there is a way to turn these off it would be extremely helpful. Thanks!
My question is similar...some of my students are not getting the notifications and they should be. Are students able to turn off/on their notifications?
@Christopher - Students should be getting email notifications. If you'd like to open a support request we can look into that for you.
I am going to ask him to check his spam folder first.
I get 3 assignment/grade posts a week from 55 students plus a goodly number of special assignments, that is well over 175 notification emails a week which is overloading my ability to answer my other email. Help!!!!

About one minute ago, we pushed an update out to Populi to let individual faculty users enable/disable those email notifications. Here's how it works:
Actually, your faculty don't even need to do that: we changed the default to "No". So, you'd only perform the above steps if you wanted to turn those notifications ON (click Yes...).
So, spread the word, and we hope this engenders some faculty love!
In relation to this, we would like the option to turn on or off the auto email option for groups of students. For example, we don't want the emails to go to our prospective students until a certain point.
