Exercise questions
Khan Academy exercises ask a set number of questions and check each one. The agent answers, checks the result on the page and continues to the end of the set.
When your teacher assigns Khan Academy through Canvas, Silent Student follows the link, works the exercise questions, and plays assigned videos through in real time.
Khan Academy exercises ask a set number of questions and check each one. The agent answers, checks the result on the page and continues to the end of the set.
When an assignment is a video, the agent plays it and measures real playback. It does not skip ahead or speed it up; a long video takes as long as it takes.
The agent has built-in handling for the common web math editors (MathQuill and MathLive) and types plain numeric answers directly.
Using a hint on Khan Academy can count against the question. The agent is not told to take hints and does not rely on them.
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.
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.
Open the Silent Student desktop app, find the Khan Academy assignment in your Canvas course list, and queue it like any other.
The app follows the assignment's link out of Canvas and lands on Khan Academy. It does not ask for or type your password.
The vision agent reads each question from a screenshot and the page's controls, enters an answer, checks it, and reads the page back before moving on.
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.
Khan Academy is built around mastery. These are the parts it does not do for you.
Khan Academy 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.
Course challenges and unit tests move your mastery levels. The agent does not tell these apart from practice, so queue only the assignments you mean it to work.
Questions where you plot a point, draw a line or drag items on a graph are the weakest type for a screen-reading agent. Check those yourself.
Tests that run inside a lockdown browser or a proctoring tool need software the agent's browser does not run, so they do not open for it. Don't queue a proctored test; take it yourself.
When the assignment is a video, it plays it through at normal speed and measures the real playback. It does not skip or speed up the video.
Khan Academy records your activity, time spent and answers on assigned work, 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 works Khan Academy assignments that your Canvas course links to. It does not browse Khan Academy on its own looking for things to do.
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.
Queue the Khan Academy work from your Canvas course and check it before class.
