Overview

Tagging is a way for one to send an alert to a user, usually to elicit a response or draw attention to a comment. A course admin or learner may tag enrolled users in discussions, submissions, and in team/group workspaces.

The tag is in-line to text, so feel free to tag where it is relevant or draw multiple users into your discussion. Your peer will receive a notification that they have been mentioned in-app and later in their email inbox (if enabled).

Directions

To tag a user in discussions, submission comments, and in team/group workspaces:

1. Click in the comment text editor.
2. Enter the @ symbol. A dropdown menu of available participants will appear.
3. Enter the desired participant's name or choose the participant from the dropdown menu. If the participant has been successfully tagged, their name will appear in blue text.

Best Practice Tips

• Assign facilitators to drive discussions and tag learners for questions or kudos.
• Encourage learners to tag others and demonstrate tagging in your responses to illustrate active and pointed commentary.
