Modified on Mon, 2 May, 2022 at 2:46 PM

The Mass Communication Manager (MCM) is a system that allows instructors to send emails and texts to selected or multiple groups of students at one time.

Here is an excellent overview for instructors:

Or you can go directly to the MCM to watch some training videos and give it a try.

If you want to put it someplace easy to find, you can add it to the Course Menu in a class, but keep it hidden from students.

In the Course Menu, hover over the plus sign at the top.

Click on Web Link and enter the URL and a title.

You can give it any title you like, but use the URL https://webapps.tulsacc.edu/ords/cm/r/mcm.. Do NOT click Available to Users. There is no reason for students to see this link in your course; it's just for you.

Now it will appear in your Course Menu and you can click there to send a text or email to your students.
