(Re)Connecting Hypothes.is Links to their Appropriate Documents

You may need to establish or reestablish the four Hypothes.is links in your D2L course space.  The tutorial video shows you how to do this.  Below, are the titles of the four files that are available to you in a Canisius Google Shared Drive.  When installing the files from Google Drive, you can search for a character string based on file names, which are:

For example, search "Don't Cheat" or "cronon_" in the Google Drive dialog Hypothes.is brings up, in order to link to these files.

Intelligent Agents

Intelligent Agents are automated operations that trigger once a parameter has been met. To put it more plainly: It is a program in D2L that can help you manage your classroom. An example is a student that has not logged into your course for several days. If you set up an Intelligent Agent to watch for when students do not log in after several days, the Agent can automatically send the student an email. Take a look at COLI's tutorials on D2L Self-Paced Training for Faculty and Staff#IntelligentAgents.
