Expert Tips for Instructors:
  • Setting up Email Subscriptions will send Reminders and Notifications to the subscribing user only. To comply with privacy regulations, an instructor cannot subscribe Students to MEETS Reminders and Notifications. Students are required to subscribe on their own.


MEETS offers a number of features to facilitate web conferencing session scheduling organization and notification:

  • Email reminders:  One can subscribe to get personalized email reminders about upcoming web conferencing events to ensure they do not miss a session. Reminder emails come with an ICS attachment that can automatically populate your personal calendar with the event, if your email client has an integrated calendar that supports this feature. 
  • Scheduling changes:
    •  Students subscribing for this option, would get automatic notifications if web conferencing events were scheduled, cancelled or their time changed. 
    • A teacher subscribing for this option would get notified when a student reserves a time slot in the appointment schedule module.
  • Itinerary: To enhance one's organization, one can  subscribe for a personalized time to get an organized list of the upcoming sessions.



Click on "Account Settings" on the top right of the MEETS platform and then access the "Email" tab in the left-hand navigation panel.  


General: Defining your email address for the email subscriptions.
