Brightspace contains an email tool which allows instructors to reach out to their students from the platform itself. This is used most predominantly from the Classlist area.

Announcements?
Brightspace does have an Announcements tool, which is a separate entity from the Email function. Announcements allow instructors to create posts on their Brightspace course homepage that are also sent out as emails to students by default. However, students are able to turn off email notifications for Announcements, which means they are not 100% reliable in terms of making sure an email shows up in a student’s inbox.
