Using @mention in D2L discussions

D2L offers a mention feature in Discussions using the @ symbol. When you @mention another user in a topic, the mentioned user receives a mention alert.

@mention alerts

  • The @mention alert is tied to the user's access to that discussion topic. An orange dot should appear in the minibar at the top of the page to alert the user.
