See this detailed guide if you need help with writing your first message: Post a message on Innsida.
Who can read course channel messages?
- Students registered for the course will see these messages when they check Innsida.
- Registered coordinators and instructors
- Other interested NTNU employees and students who have manually subscribed
- External readers who have found the channel's RSS feed. This external feed can be accessed without logging into the intranet.
You can choose to limit access to the channel, so that only registered students and subscribers can access your posts by changing the read access priveleges. The RSS-feed for the channel will be removed, and all new requests for access will require your approval.
Who can post messages to a course channel?
The standard settings for course channels provide edit privileges to:
- Registered course coordinators and instructors
- Other individuals who are added manually as channel administrators
Course instructors can edit the channel settings if they wish to allow students to post messages as well. Changing the write access setting from "Administrators" to "Subscribers" willl make this possible.
