Lab 3 BotEnvironment Questions
07/10/12 17:16 Filed in: 480
Please post questions about the BotEnvironment on the PolyLearn forum “BotEnvironment Issues”; it’s under “2 - Intelligent Agents” on the course overview page on PolyLearn.
This has several advantages over just sending it to me via email:
- somebody else may have similar issues, and possibly a solution
- you may get an answer faster than from me
- you may get a better answer
- there is a team working on a revision or re-implementation of the environment, and it’s helpful for them to know where the typical problems are
- I’m counting this as evidence towards class participation
I have the subscription mode set to “auto subscription”, which means that everybody in class who doesn’t opt out received a notification of new postings. So posting it there will reach me just as fast as a direct email.

AI Nugget Presentation Material

If you have problems uploading or are reluctant to make your content (e.g. presentation slides) available through Semantic Media Wiki at http://kurfess.wikia.com/wiki/AI_%26_HCI_Presentation_and_Project_Wiki, you can also post material on the PolyLearn “AI Nugget Forum” now. It is under “Course Material and Use of PolyLearn.”
Joining Teams on PolyLearn
24/09/12 19:47 Filed in: 480
It looks like the method of using “enrollment keys” doesn’t work in PolyLearn; maybe it needs to be set up before students can join the class. The only pointer I could find in the documentation is
“Enrolment keys will cause the user to be automatically added to the group when they enroll in the course using the key.”
I wasn’t able to find instructions for students to join groups, however. I guess then I’ll just have to manually populate the groups. To make this easier for me, please put your team member information on the team TRAC Wiki.
I’ve removed the enrollment keys, and added a leading zero to Teams 1-9 to list them in their intuitive order, rather than Team 1, Team 10, Team 11, …, Team 2, Team 3, ...

480 Teams on PolyLearn

Using the “groups” feature in PolyLearn, I’ve created entries for 16 teams. Most likely we’ll use them just for grading purposes, but maybe there are other uses for this as well.
To join the group for your team, please use the enrollment key “Team X”, consisting of the word “Team” followed by a space character and your team number without leading zero. So for Team 1, this is “Team 1”.

480 Section 03 Merged into Section 01 on PolyLearn
24/09/12 16:04 Filed in: 480
If you’re in Section 03 of 480, you should now see an entry for 480-01 in your PolyLearn course list. I’ve asked the PolyLearn admins to merge the two sections.
Quiz 1 Availability and Visibility
24/09/12 10:28 Filed in: 480
Quiz 1 will be available all day on Tue, Sep. 25. In contrast to Blackboard, where quizzes became visible to students only when they can actually take the quiz, PolyLearn seems to show a link on the course overview with more details after the link (e.g., “The quiz will not be available until Tuesday, September 25, 2012, 12:00 AM”). Students who added the class later may not be on the access list for this class in PolyLearn; I believe that this is done overnight, leading to a one-day delay in most cases.
PolyLearn Access and Background Questionnaire
21/09/12 18:28 Filed in: 480
I’ve enabled PolyLearn access for the CPE-480-01-2128 students (morning section), and requested a merge of the students enrolled in the afternoon section into the same PolyLearn course. This will probably take a few days. If you’ve added the course only recently, you may also not see it yet in your list of courses.
At the moment, there’s not much on PolyLearn anyway; the only item of interest is probably the background questionnaire, Quiz 0. If you have access to the course, please take it so I get a better picture of what I can expect students to know (or remember) from previous courses. You’ll see a score, but it will not be included in the grade calculation. Please let me know if you have problems or notice something unusual. For me, this is also a test case to see if the transition from my Blackboard question pool went without glitches.
