What Notifications do you want to receive? You can receive Notifications about new assignments, announcements, current comments to discussion boards, communications from your instructor(s) or group members, etc.
When do you want to receive these Notifications? You can receive Notifications immediately, at the end of the day, or at the end of the week.
Where you want to receive Notifications (part of profile)? You can receive Notifications through your email, on your phone, even through your Facebook or twitter accounts.
