How do I change my course notification settings?

Customise your notifications in the Learning Zone to keep up to date in the ways that suit you best.

Course notifications are essential to staying updated with important information and events related to your courses, but different people like to be notified in different ways. This guide will walk you through the steps to customise your notification settings according to your preferences. 

Step 1: Navigate to the Notifications settings page 

In the Learning Zone, navigate to the top left corner of the screen and click on the Account button. A menu will appear; select Notifications.

Step 2: Choose what types of notifications you want to update

Account-level notifications apply to all courses. If you have more than one course, you can manage the notifications for individual courses by clicking on the drop-down below the Settings for heading.  

Step 3: View setting options 

Within the Notifications section, you'll see a list of different notification types categorised by Course activities, Discussions, Conversations, and more. If you have added multiple contact methods, each notification type will have options for how you receive notifications, such as through email or text message. 

Step 4: Customise notification settings 

Review the notification settings for each notification type and adjust them according to your preferences.  

You can choose one of four frequency types: 

• Notify immediately: Receive notifications right away. Note that these notifications may experience delays of up to one hour in the event of additional changes by instructors, preventing multiple notifications from inundating you in a short span of time. 
• Daily summary: Receive a daily digest of notifications. 

• Weekly summary: Receive a weekly digest of notifications. 

• Notifications off: Opt out of receiving notifications all together. 

By customising your notification preferences, you can stay informed about course updates and activities in a way that suits your learning style and schedule. 

Remember, it's important to strike a balance with your notification settings to avoid being overwhelmed by unnecessary notifications while staying up-to-date with important information. Regularly review and adjust your notification preferences as needed to optimise your Nile Online  learning experience.
