Messages are not new, but Ultra Base Navigation provides a more efficient way to manage messages across all your courses if you use them. Users access their global Messages pages from the list where their names appear first—the base navigation. Messages are organized by course.
Everyone can use messages for reminders, quick questions, and social interactions. Although similar to email, you must be logged into a course to read and send course messages. However, if you prefer the email tool rather than messages, you may continue to access the Send Email tool from within courses.
