Users can manage notifications for a single course through the Course Notification Settings page, allowing you to decide which kind of notifications you receive, the frequency of notifications etc. The document provides a step-by-step guide to updating course level notification settings.
This is particularly useful if you are teaching multiple courses and want different notification settings for each. For example, you might want to receive notifications for every assignment submission in a fourth-year course but not for a first-year course.
Please note that these notification settings apply only to you, not to your students. They can set their own notification preferences for each course.
