Steps to Create an Intelligent Agent in Brightspace/D2L
Use intelligent agents to monitor login activity, course activity, and release conditions in your course.
First, an instructor must decide:
a) criteria the agent looks for
b) content of the agent's email notification
c) how often the agent acts
Sample Intelligent Agent: Notifies learners to access their course if there has been no login activity after 5 days
- From the course home page, select "Course Tools" and "Intelligent Agents".

- Select the "New" button.

- Enter a Name for the agent.

- Optional: Select "Edit Description" to expand the Description field and provide a description for this agent.

- Select the checkbox to enable your agent.

- Complete the Criteria, Actions, and Scheduling sections and select "Save and Close".

- This Intelligent Agent will go live once your site is activated.
