As faculty, we often have to spend hours tracking how often students are logging into our Blackboard course shells, how well they are doing in the class, who is not performing well in tests, as opposed to essay assignments, for example. Then we have to email the students in question with updates, reminders, etc. All so we can foster student retention and success. If only we had a personal assistant to do that work for us so we can spend those hours working on our teaching preps and other responsibilities… Blackboard, our Learning Management System (LMS), has so-called intelligent agents that can help you. Join this interactive presentation, led by members of the STaR team, to learn more about how to make Blackboard work for you and your students by relying on its automated notifications.
