How do I send email in my Ultra course?

At this time, you cannot directly send email to your students in an Ultra course. Blackboard Message recipients will receive an email copy of messages sent from Ultra courses.
Note: Selecting "all course members" will not generate an email to the message sender. However, instructors may use "student preview" to create a preview user account. If instructors do not clear the student preview user data, then they will receive copies of announcements and messages that are sent via email.
