Question: What are Intelligent Agents in D2L?
- How can Intelligent Agents increase communication with students before my class starts?
Answer: Intelligent Agents are “Electronic Reminders” that notify students of course activity.
D2L Intelligent Agents is a communication tool that allows you to send automated and personalized reminders to students based on various course activity such as grades received, not accessing a course the first week of class, completing all checklist items, no submissions to Assignment folders, and much more! Agents can be based on multiple conditions and be set to run manually or on a schedule where you can reach students outside of the classroom. Agents are appropriate for all course delivery methods.
Many benefits come with Intelligent Agents such as reaching all students, alerting struggling students early in the course and providing additional resources, welcoming all students to the course, acknowledging student achievement, emphasizing important course dates, and personalizing emails sent to students.
