Notifications

Real-time updates within the Stile app keep students and teachers on track in their subjects.

Notifications appear when one user performs an action that affects another user, such as submitting work or releasing feedback.

Students get notified when:

• feedback and answers are released on a lesson
• a teacher requests resubmission on a lesson or collects work
• A student or teacher makes comments in a Class Discussion

Teachers get notified when:

• A student or students submit work on a lesson
• A student or teacher makes comments in a Class Discussion
• Another teacher posts notes on a student's Learning dashboard
• A subject is archived

View notifications

Notifications appear in the black banner at the top of the app screen, next to the Support button. Unread notifications are called out by an orange number next to the Notifications button. Click the button to expand the Notifications menu. Click on a notification to navigate to its relevant page. 

Notification preferences

There are two main actions on notifications: Mark as read and Opt out.

Marking a notification as read will change it to Complete and remove it from the top of the Notifications menu. It can be referenced later on at the bottom of the menu.

A teacher can opt out of seeing notifications from another teachers' class in a shared subject. When a student submits work from another class, click Opt out on the relevant notification. This will stop all notifications for the class in which that student is enrolled. This action can be reversed by clicking the Preferences button in the Notifications menu.
