OAKS Intelligent Agents
The Intelligent Agents tool monitors an org unit to find activity that matches criteria that you set. The criteria that the agents search for are login activity, course activity, and release conditions in OAKS.
Two-Way Communication
OAKS Discussions
Discussions are a series of messages that have been posted as replies to each other. This is an asynchronous communication tool, meaning that users can read the postings at any time.
OAKS Activity Feed
The Activity Feed provides the ability to use the Activity Feed homepage widget. The Activity Feed widget creates a unique “feed” or “stream” for a course. The feed is a way for instructors to provide access to activities learners need to complete, deliver information they need to know, and facilitate learner engagement using simplified workflows in an intuitive and friendly interface.
OAKS Email
The Email tool allows you to send email from within OAKS.
