The Moodle Mail block allows students to email the instructor, TA, or other students directly in the course. Messages sent from this system are sent from students' LSU email address. Replies are also sent to the LSU email address (NOT the course).
NOTE: Instructors have the option to restrict access to the Moodle Mail block. If you do not see the block in your course, your instructor may have turned it off. In this case, send email using LSUMail.
