When the Learning Period Expiration, Min Enrol Met Alert, and Class Reminder notifications are triggered the system stores the email notifications in a temporary table. Use the Class Notifications page to run processes that send these notifications to recipients all at once.

Use the Learning Period Expiration Application Engine process (LM_ACT_LRNPD) to send email notifications that alert learners that the learning period of a class in which the learners are enrolled is going to expire in a given number of days.

Use the Min Enrollment Notification Application Engine process (LM_ACT_MINEN) to send email notifications that alert the class administrator that the minimum enrollment has not been met for a class.

Use the Class Reminder Notification Application Engine process (LM_ACT_RMNDR) to send email notifications that remind class instructors and enrolled learners that the class is scheduled to start soon.

You can also send email notifications on the fly with the ad hoc Notifications page.

Note: You should schedule these process to run at least once daily.
