Tools for Team-Based Learning
You can send an email to each student that shows their RAT score. The email is sent via SMTP from your own email account, so that students may also respond.
Use the following command:
rat email results.xlsx
The results file is the one Teampy created when grading the RAT. This also means it only sends an email to the students that participated in that specific RAT.
You can specify with the flag --testonly that Teampy is just storing HTML files that contain the email contents in a folder called emails.
rat email results.xlsx --testonly
In this way you can have a look at the email before anything is sent out.
The connection to the server is protected via TLS, and Teampy prompts each time for your password, but does not store it.
Depending on the email system you use, you will not see the mail in your folder with sent items.
Teampy will modify the results file, and write in the column feedback if it succeeded to send the email to the specific student.
The field will then say sent.
In case some emails could not be sent, Teampy will try to tell you the reason.
You can then run the command again:
rat email results.xlsx
Teampy will then try to send the email to all students that have not yet an sent in the feedback column.
