Admins should be able to email the instructors of a course #5524

Closed ragesoss closed 8 months ago

ragesoss commented 1 year ago

Current Behavior:

When a Wiki Education staff members wants to contact all the instructors of a course, the easiest way is currently to copy each of their email address and use a separate email client. It would be more convenient to be able to send an email message directly from the course page.

Desired Behavior:

There should be a button in Actions that opens a text box and allows an admin to write a message that will be emailed to all the instructors of the course. The email should look good, with minimal formatting using similar styling to existing emails sent by the Dashboard, and should have a reply-to for the admin who sends the message.

Looks like no one is active on this issue. I'll take this on me.

@ragesoss are editors and instructors same? What page do you want the Button to send notification to instructors. I was thinking maybe here (if editor means instructors):

This FAQ instruction on Adding Instructor seems outdated : https://dashboard.wikiedu.org/faq/19

ragesoss commented 11 months ago

@prathamVaidya there are two main production contexts: Programs & Events Dashboard ( outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org, corresponding to the wiki_education: false setting) and Wiki Education Dashboard (dashboard.wikiedu.org, corresponding to wiki_education: true). There is some different terminology between them.

'Editor' on P&E Dashboard is the same as 'Student' in Wiki Education Dashboard (role 0 in a CoursesUsers record), while 'Instructor' is the same as 'Facilitator' (role 1 in a CoursesUsers record).

For this issue, the feature is only intended for Wiki Education Dashboard, and the Home tab (probably in the Actions section) is where I think the button should go.

(I think that FAQ is still accurate; it is specifically for Wiki Education Dashboard.)
