Edpuzzle

Edpuzzle videos watched, questions answered

An Edpuzzle assignment is a video that pauses for questions. Silent Student opens it from your Canvas course, plays the video in real time, and answers each question as it appears.

What it handles

Edpuzzle, done for you.

The video plays in real time

The agent plays the video and measures real playback. It does not seek past parts or raise the playback speed, so a ten-minute video takes ten minutes.

Questions as they appear

Edpuzzle stops the video at each question. The agent answers multiple-choice questions by matching the option text, then lets the video continue.

Short written answers

Open-ended questions get a short typed answer based on what the video covered at that point. Your teacher grades those, so read them afterwards.

Linked from Canvas

Edpuzzle assignments are commonly added to Canvas as assignments. The agent follows the same link you would.

Every answer is read back

Typing an answer is not the same as the platform accepting it. After each entry the agent re-reads the live page, so an answer that did not take is caught and retried instead of counted.

Honest about what it finished

A run that turned the work in and saw the platform's confirmation says so. A run that saved some answers and then got stuck is reported as partial, with the remaining part named, never as done.

How it works

From open tab to submitted.

  1. 1

    Pick the assignment in Canvas

    Open the Silent Student desktop app, find the Edpuzzle assignment in your Canvas course list, and queue it like any other.

  2. 2

    It opens Edpuzzle from your course

    The app follows the assignment's link out of Canvas and lands on the Edpuzzle video. It does not ask for or type your password.

  3. 3

    It works the screen in front of it

    The vision agent plays the video, stops at each question, reads it from a screenshot and the page's controls, answers it, and reads the page back before the video resumes.

  4. 4

    It reports what really happened

    It uses the platform's own submit or completion control and marks the run confirmed only when the platform shows it. If it had to stop early, the log says which part is still yours.

Where it stops

What it won't do.

Edpuzzle is simple, but a few things are worth knowing.

No purpose-built solver, no published run yet

Edpuzzle runs on the general vision agent, not a solver written for its interface, and we have not yet published a recorded run on it. Expect it to be less predictable than our dedicated platforms, and check the run log for what it did.

It takes as long as the video

Because the video plays in real time, a long assignment takes its full length. There is no fast mode.

Written answers are graded by your teacher

Open-ended answers are written from the video but not checked by Edpuzzle. Read them before your teacher does.

Audio-only questions

The agent works from what is on screen. A question that only makes sense from something said aloud, and never shown, is the weakest case.

Questions

Edpuzzle FAQ

No. It plays the video at normal speed and measures the real playback, so the assignment takes as long as the video.

Edpuzzle records how much of the video you watched, when, and your answers, and your teacher can see it. Silent Student does not hide, disguise or fake any of that. It runs in a normal browser on your computer, signed in as you, and whether using it is allowed is decided by your class or school policy.

It types a short answer based on what the video showed at that point. Your teacher grades those answers, so check them.

Any plan. Every plan includes the vision agent that works this platform; plans differ in monthly usage and in access to the advanced pro model. See the pricing page for details.
