Conversations is the messaging tool used instead of email to communicate with a course, a group, an individual student, or a group of students. You can communicate with other people in your course at any time. To access your Conversation inbox, click on "Inbox" in the left-side global navigation. When instructors send messages out via the Conversation inbox feature in Canvas, the message will go to your Canvas Inbox, as well as your NNU Gmail address. You may choose to respond to a message from your NNU Gmail. If you do so, a copy of your email will be sent to the NNU Gmail inbox of that user, as well as the Canvas Inbox. You may also choose to respond directly from the Conversation inbox area of Canvas.
