Intelligent Agents is an iLearn tool that will automatically send an email to a student based on an action (like achieving certain grade on a quiz) or an inaction (like failure to submit an assignment) in a course. In this session, we will show what those automatic emails look like for students and link to resources on how to create Intelligent Agents in your own courses. Contact the CITL with questions citl@tntech.edu.
