How Students Can Track Unread Teacher Messages and Notifications in Chat

Missing an educator's timely explanation because it was buried without a visible notification leaves students waiting indefinitely.

Buried teacher replies stall homework completion

If students do not notice that a teacher answered their question hours ago, they continue waiting and delay finishing their homework.

Monitor numerical unread badges on the Learning Chat navigation tab

  1. Look for the red unread badge beside 'Learning Chat' on your dashboard menu.

  2. Click Learning Chat to bring unread conversations to the top of your inbox.

  3. Open the thread highlighted with bold unread message indicators.

  4. Review the teacher's new explanation and mark the conversation as caught up.

Put it into practice

Example: Catching a teacher's evening reply

A student sees a '1' badge on his Learning Chat icon at 7:00 PM, opens the thread, and finishes his biology homework using the teacher's response.

Worth checking first

  • Unread counts clear automatically as soon as you open the active conversation.
  • Ensure browser notifications are enabled if you want real-time desktop alerts.
