Cobra Learning - About Email

About Email

The Email tool allows you to send email from within Cobra Learning.

Email configuration

Cobra Learning has a "send-only" email configuration, meaning that users may send email from Cobra but not receive email in Cobra.  The user email address associated with Cobra Learning is their Parkland email account, (e.g. email@stu.parkland.edu). You can associate an external email address with your Cobra Learning email using Email Settings if you want notifications sent to another email address.
