Are you looking for a low-touch way of setting your students up for success? Intelligent Agents can help.
Brightspace Intelligent Agents is an underused communication tool that automates personalized messages based on criteria you define—like low quiz scores, missing logins, or high achievement. With minimal upfront setup, you can automatically send supportive emails that welcome students, prompt engagement, or offer help when it’s needed most.
In this workshop, you'll learn how to:
- Set up Intelligent Agents based on course activity triggers
- Craft encouraging, personalized messages that keep students on track
- Re-engage inactive students and celebrate strong performance
- View sent-agent reports and manage replies from students
This workshop, the third in our #LEX Advanced series, will help you to utilize Intelligent Agents to automate communications and set your students up for success in your classes. Whether you're looking to reduce repetitive emails or boost student success, this workshop offers practical strategies and real-life examples to help you leverage Brightspace to its full potential—without adding to your workload.
