Example of Content Agent Use
Online Documentation ANGEL 7.2 > Automate Tab > Example of Content Agent Use
The Content Agent can be used to set up an action on any type of content item. Many instructors use this agent to release content as a student progresses through a course instead of having all the content available to the student from the beginning.
The scenario that we use is to release the next lesson folder based on a student quiz grade.
To set up a content agent:
- Log into your ANGEL course and click the Automate tab. The Agents Console appears.
- Click the Add button.
- Click the Content Agent hyperlink. The Content Agent page appears.
- Type a title for the agent in the Title field.
- From the Event drop-down list, select Submit.
- Click the Add button under Content Items. The Content Filter page appears.
- Select the content type from the Content Type drop-down list.
- Click the Save Filter button.
- Click the Add button under the User Filter section. The User Filter page appears.
- In the Condition Filter section, select Submissions from the drop-down list.
- Add a percentage score that the user must meet to unlock the folder and select the quiz name from the drop-down list of content items.
- Click the Save Filter button.
- Click the Add button on the Actions section. The Add an Action page appears.
- Click the Unlock action hyperlink. The Unlock editor appears.
- Type the password in the first field.
- Click the Save Action button.
- Click the Save button to save the Content Agent.
In our scenario we are unlocking a specific folder based on a quiz grade so the content type is Folder and the Folder is Specific Folder with a selection of Lesson 1 as the folder name.
In this scenario we want users that have scored at least 80% on Quizzes: Binary Numbers
Typing an exclamation point in front of the password hides the content from the students until the criterion is met for unlocking the item.
