Intelligent agents?

websites etc. to students

Three simple steps. You need to tell the IA:
1. What criteria it is looking for
2. When it looks
3. What is sent in the email

Automatic Vs. manually run
Automatic
Pro:• Set it up and don’t think
about it again.
Con:• Have to make sure it is set
up for the right dates – will it capture everyone?
Manually
Pro:• Runs straight away• Easier to set up
Con:• You have to remember to
do it!

What’s the Catch?For a student to receive an email via IA they need to DO something. There would be added benefit to send reminders to complete a quiz (for example) when they haven’t.

• You can not create an agent that looks at overall user progress or final grade
• Technical difficulties– Not getting the {InitiatingUserFirstName} right– Not setting up calendar correctly
• Don’t want to send too many.• Student’s cant reply - Include your email in CC• If you're copying components from one
trimester to another, each Intelligent Agent will be copied over, BUT the settings of each agent will not be copied.

The emails were fantastic as it made me really feel the teaching team were there anytime we needed them and were keeping an eye on our progress, it truly did motivate me to continue to pursue high marks.
I was so happy with the first journal email I got, that I even sent it to my parents.
Made me feel that someone acknowledged my achievements and cared, made me feel included and special.
It made my self esteem go through the roof and I felt extra proud.
[The email] encouragement goes a long was especially when things are getting a bit overwhelming.
It definitely made me feel better about my results and made me want to do better the next time.
