The notification system alerts you when events occur in your courses such as when you have new content, grades and quizzes available, and when you have unread discussions and blogs. Notifications are generated automatically whenever their associated events occur. Brightspace can also send a Summary of Activity for notifications daily or weekly to your email or SMS. You cannot change your default email or add an external email to receive notifications.
You can make changes to the frequency of Summary of Activity by clicking your name on your homepage and selecting your Notifications settings from the drop-down menu.
