Email is not going away in a hurry on campuses. (or in business and office environments, either.) Makes me nuts when students don’t check email. Actually, like the article says, they can check for announcements on Canvas through texts, if they enable that. Many just are not motivated to follow up on “stuff” like procedural things, whether for class or anything else substantive but not sparkly, even if available through texts. It’s just not shiny enough to catch their eye.
