INTELLIGENT AGENT – AGENT LIST

INTELLIGENT AGENT MESSAGES TO INSTRUCTORS

After an agent runs, the instructor receives an email message that confirms the agent ran, and indicates whether action was taken. The “action” the agent takes is sending email messages to students who met the criteria. If no students met the criteria, Action Taken would be “No”. Example of a Message:

The following agent has finished running:Org Unit: May2010V9TestCourse - May 2010 Version 9 Test CourseAgent: No LoginRequest Submitted: Thursday, May 27, 2010, 8:04:18 AMAgent Completed: Thursday, May 27, 2010, 8:04:20 AMAction Taken: Yes

INTELLIGENT AGENTS—E-MAIL MESSAGES TO STUDENTS

The instructor does not know which students received the message, only that the agent was run and action was taken

If instructor wants to know which students receive the message, instructor can put his/her own email address in the cc: or bc: field of the email message

The instructor will receive a copy of each message that the agent generates for each student

That can be a lot of messages, but it is the only way to get that information

A feature request has been submitted to D2L to provide the instructor with the list of students who received the message in a single e-mail to the instructor
