About the Classlist Tool
The Classlist provides you and your students with a list of students currently enrolled in your course. The Classlist is automatically updated from the University's Student Information System (USIS); students are automatically enrolled one business night after official registation. Names and roles of participants are listed here, and various tools available in the class list allow interactions with class members. Instructors can easily email and/or page course participants, view student homepages and inspect an individual's group enrollments via the Classlist.
Communicate with other Users
Course participants can be contacted directly from the Classlist. This can be extremely useful when summoning a group of users into a chat room to discuss a group project or give users immediate feedback, because you can identify the users who are online.
To email a user, click in the box to the left of the student's name, then click on the envelope icon. The main email screen will open with the user's email address already in the 'To' field.
To page a user, click in the box to the left of the student's name and then click on the paging icon. The 'Send Page' screen will open with the participant's username in the 'To' field.
To send a mass mailing to course participants, select 'Email everyone on this tab'.

Student View
If you would like to view what your course or tools look like in the eyes of a student, you can do so using the Role Switch tool from the Course Home. By changing your role to "Student" you can navigate your class and see the course as a student would. Please note that under the student role you will be unable to view the gradebook, take quizzes, or view any items with conditional releases. Once you are finished using the student role, you can switch back to your instructor role by going back to the Role Switch tool on the Course Home page and selecting '--My Role (Instructor)--'.
