What is Webmail?

This article will provide an introduction to the use of Webmail in the Pearson Online Classroom.

WebMail is the secure electronic mail system within the online classroom that functions similarly to other mail systems but can only be accessed by users with a role assigned.  Approved therapists and evaluators can send webmails to students who are in their assigned sections as well as the caretaker/learning coach of those students.

Therapists can generate a WebMail message to students and their caretaker/learning coach within the Section feature. Select a section in order to send a message to all or some students in the section.  In the screenshot below, you will notice that all students in a specific section have been added to the webmail recipients.  If you wish to remove a section from the list of recipients, click on the section name and select Remove Section.
