In August of 2022, BrainBuffet introduced our brand new notification center!
The notification center allows the BrainBuffet team to send announcements directly to our users! Now you will receive announcements about course updates and other important information right in your BrainBuffet inbox.
But, more importantly, the notification center also allows teachers to send announcements to students in their groups/classrooms! Want to remind your students of a due date or even welcome them to a new semester? Now you can!
