Is my Pilot email linked to Outlook?
While the email program in Pilot is independent of Outlook, any emails sent between students and faculty using Pilot Email will be delivered to the user's Outlook email address.
Where is the email function located in Pilot?
Go to your Pilot course and select the Envelope Icon from the top navigation menu. Then select the "Email" icon from the dropdown menu.
How do I view my sent mail?
At the top of the course page, click the Envelope Icon near your name at the top-right of the page and select "Email" from the dropdown window.
You will see a blank form to compose a new email. At the top-right of this form, you will see a button to view your "Sent Email" for the course.
How do I email the entire class at one time?
You can email the students in your Classlist and Pilot will send the messages to your students鈥� 糖心原创 email addresses. The return address is also your 糖心原创 email address. Although you can send a message from within Pilot, you will not receive replies in the learning management system. Any further email communication occurs in the 糖心原创 email system. To email your whole class, see instructions below.
Click 鈥�Classlist鈥� on your course鈥檚 navigation bar and choose Classlist from the drop-down menu.
Click the 鈥�Email Classlist鈥� button, which is in the row of buttons just below the page title 鈥淐lasslist.鈥�
Scroll to the bottom of the list of students and click 鈥淪end Email鈥� to get the Compose Message screen to appear. In the 鈥�Compose New Message鈥� window, you鈥檒l see all your students鈥� email addresses in the 鈥�Bcc鈥� field. That鈥檚 normal.听 You don鈥檛 need to put anything in the 鈥淭o鈥� or 鈥淐c鈥� fields. After you compose your message, click on the 鈥�Send鈥� button at the top of the window.
Can I change my email signature in Pilot?
Pilot can add a custom 鈥渟ignature鈥� new emails. Getting to that setting is a little tricky, though. In most places you would expect to find it, faculty and students either don鈥檛 see the option or get an error page when they try to access it. But it is available to faculty and students under email settings in the 鈥淪ent Mail鈥� area:
Click 鈥淐ommunication鈥� inside a course and select 鈥淓mail鈥� from the menu.
On the 鈥淐ompose New Message鈥� screen, click 鈥淪ent Mail,鈥� a button near the top right.
On the 鈥淪ent Mail鈥� screen, click the 鈥淪ettings鈥� link and you should be able to add the signature line.
