You can export a list of students from your LEO unit to get their names and email addresses to use for direct email contact.

Note: unit enrolments and group memberships may change during the course of a teaching period, so you will have to update your list accordingly.

3. Click the Export tab, then choose the Plain text file tab in the second row:

7. Click the Download button and save the file to your computer.
