TTAC Workshop
11 AM-1 PM Volpe Library 112

Do you wish you could help your students celebrate a certain grade or give them a gentle nudge on a due date? iLearn has a set-it-and-forget-it tool to help you do just that. Intelligent Agents is an iLearn tool that will automatically send an email to a student based on an action (like achieving a 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. Join the CITL on April 2nd at 11 AM to learn more. Register below and contact citl@tntech.edu with questions.
