What is a Distribution List?
A "Distribution List" is a collection of contacts that provides an easy way of sending messages to a group of users, by sending one message to a special address.
A message sent to a distribution list goes to all recipients listed in the list without the need of typing each individual email address. You can use distribution list to:
- Assignments
- Projects
- Announcements
Thunderbird’s Address Book is where you store all your students contact information. This is where the "List" is created.
How do I collect my student’s email addresses?
Ask them to send you an email that they will be using during the semester. They can be either:
- RCC Email
- Personal Email
*Make sure that they include which course and section they are in especially if you are teaching multiple courses.
