to students when any criterion(a) you set
is/are triggered

You can send links, media (videos), audio,
directions for extra help (tutoring, counseling
center, etc.)

can always view individual student
progress the roundabout way….

Intelligent Agent Example
 How
to send a notification to students
who have achieved a 90% or higher on
the quizzes you’ve given so far
Give the agent a
name and a good
description
The agent won’t work unless
this box is checked
Use these when you want to
notify for login activity (or lack
thereof) to D2L in general or to
your course specifically
This is what you’ll use to notify
for grades
That’s it!
