About Silent Student on Kognity
Pick the assignment and watch: Silent Student opens Kognity in its own browser, answers each question, reads it back and hands it in.
Silent Student, a Mac and Windows desktop app from $11.99 a month, opens a Kognity assignment linked in your Canvas course and answers its multiple-choice and short-text questions with its Vision agent. Your teacher marks the written answers.
- Answers in Kognity’s own fields. Multiple choice and short text in question assignments, and the questions that sit inside each section.
- Reads every answer back. It checks each answer on the page and reads Kognity’s response before it moves to the next question.
- Hands it in, then shows the log. Kognity locks answers once submitted, so it submits only what you queue. The log lists what went in.
Is there a Kognity answer bot?
Is there a Kognity answer bot?
Yes. Silent Student is a Mac and Windows app that follows a Kognity assignment link in your Canvas course, answers the multiple-choice and short-text questions with its Vision agent, types exam-style answers for your teacher to mark, and presses Kognity’s own submit control. Plans start at $11.99 a month.
Does Silent Student work with Kognity?
Does Silent Student work with Kognity?
Partly. Silent Student, a desktop app for Mac and Windows made by El Dorado Ignition LLC, opens a Kognity assignment linked from your Canvas course and answers it with its Vision agent, which reads the screen. It presses Kognity’s own submit control, and your teacher marks exam-style answers. It is built mainly for college Canvas courses, and we have published no Kognity run. Plans start at $11.99 a month.
| What it does | Kognity question assignments and section questions linked from Canvas: multiple-choice and short-text answers entered and read back. Quizizz homework quizzes are answered the same way. |
|---|---|
| What it doesn’t do | Proctored tests, or promise marks on exam-style answers your teacher grades. Diagram labeling and drawing are its weakest type. |
| Who submits | Silent Student presses Kognity’s submit control and reports the run done only when Kognity shows it. Kognity does not let you change answers after you submit. |
| How it gets in | Through the assignment link your teacher posted in Canvas. It does not sign in to Kognity separately. Savvas Realize assignments open the same way. |
| Who it’s built for | Mainly college Canvas courses. Kognity, used for IB, IGCSE and other secondary courses, is worked by the Vision agent. So are other school platforms such as Big Ideas Math. |
| Where it runs | A desktop app for a Mac with Apple Silicon on macOS 13 or later (Intel by request for members) or Windows 10 or later, 64-bit. |
| Free plan | None. Money-back guarantee if a problem on our side can’t be fixed within 3 days (request within 30 days, before you cancel; conditions apply). Terms, section 4 |

Silent Student is one: a Mac and Windows desktop app that opens a Kognity assignment linked from your Canvas course with its Vision agent, answers the multiple-choice and short-text questions, types exam-style answers for your teacher to mark, and presses Kognity’s own submit control. We have published no recorded Kognity run, so check the run log. A chatbot answers only what you paste into it, and you type the answer yourself. Kognity releases its own answers and explanations when your teacher’s settings allow.

How do Kognity question assignments work?
Kognity’s student guide says the questions in a question assignment are multiple choice or short text entry, your progress saves if you are interrupted, and you must finish before the due date or the assignment shows as not started or incomplete. Once you submit, you cannot change your answers. Kognity’s help center adds: “All question assignments will be graded automatically.”
Sources: Kognity Help Center, How do I complete my question assignments?; Kognity, What happens when the assignment deadline passes?, checked October 20, 2026.
Where do you see your Kognity answers after you submit?
In the assignment, when your teacher’s feedback setting allows it. Kognity’s help center says teachers choose one of three times: after the deadline has passed, once you click “Submit assignment,” or right after each question. You then view your scores, answers and explanations “by clicking the question boxes found below the results breakdown.” With the after-each-question setting you see the correct answer right away, but you “cannot resubmit the question.” Strength Tests and Strength Battles always show your score and solutions once you answer, and exam-style mark schemes open only “once your teacher has unlocked them.”

Is there a Kognity answer key?
Is there a Kognity answer key?
Not one you can download. Kognity releases its own answers and explanations on the schedule your teacher sets, and exam-style mark schemes stay hidden until your teacher unlocks them. A list of “Kognity answers” found online may not match your assignment: teachers pick questions “from the question bank” or write their own, and each Strength Test draws five questions that are “randomly selected.”

What should you do yourself in Kognity?
What should you do yourself in Kognity?
- No published run yet. Kognity runs on the Vision agent, and we have not published a recorded Kognity run. Check the run log.
- Answers lock when you submit. Kognity does not let you change answers after you submit, and Silent Student presses submit. Queue an assignment only when you are happy for it to hand the work in.
- Your teacher marks exam-style answers. The agent types an exam-style answer from the section, but your teacher gives the mark. It cannot promise marks.
- Diagrams and drawing. Questions that ask you to label or draw on a diagram are the weakest type for a screen-reading agent.
- Proctored tests are yours. Tests that run inside a lockdown browser or a proctoring tool do not open in its browser. Take those yourself.
- Built mainly for college courses. Silent Student is built mainly for college Canvas courses. It reaches Kognity, a secondary-school platform, only through a link in your Canvas course.

What does Silent Student do on Kognity?
What does Silent Student do on Kognity?
Kognity assignments for IB and IGCSE courses, answered inside the digital textbook.
Questions in context
Kognity questions sit next to the section they test. The agent reads the question on screen and answers it there, in Kognity’s own answer fields.
Multiple choice and short text
Question assignments are multiple choice or short text entry, and Kognity grades them automatically. The agent answers each one and reads Kognity’s response back.
Exam-style answers, typed
Exam-style answers are typed into Kognity’s editor, and your teacher marks them. Read anything it writes, because Kognity does not let you change answers after you submit.
Linked from Canvas
Schools can send Kognity assignments to Canvas. The agent follows the assignment link your teacher posted and does not sign in to Kognity separately.

How does Silent Student work on Kognity, step by step?
Pick the assignment in Canvas
Open the Silent Student desktop app, find the Kognity assignment in your Canvas course list, and queue it like any other.
It opens Kognity from your course
The app follows the assignment’s link out of Canvas and lands in Kognity. It does not ask for or type your Kognity password.
It works the screen in front of it
The vision agent reads each question from a screenshot and the page’s controls, answers it, and reads the page back before moving on.
It reports what really happened
It uses Kognity’s own submit control and marks the run confirmed only when Kognity shows it. If it had to stop early, the log says which part is still yours.
More questions about Kognity12
What is Kognity?
Kognity is a digital textbook and assessment platform that schools buy for secondary courses. Its homepage calls it an “Interactive teaching and learning platform, trusted by 2,000+ schools,” with courses for the IB Diploma Programme, the IB Middle Years Programme, Cambridge IGCSE™ and Next Generation Science Standards science. Students read textbook sections, answer the questions placed beside them and complete the assignments their teacher sends. Silent Student is a separate app, not made by Kognity.
Source: Kognity, homepage, checked October 20, 2026.
What types of questions are in Kognity?
Kognity’s help center lists six kinds in its textbooks. Reflection questions are “open-ended questions designed to spark critical thinking,” and their answers “cannot be edited once submitted.” Knowledge checks and section questions sit in the reading, and knowledge checks “must be answered correctly to be marked as ‘Completed’.” Quiz questions are targeted exercises on different concepts. Exam-style questions “mirror the format and difficulty of typical exams.” Strength questions, under the Practice tab, apply your learning “on a module level.” Strength Battles give you three questions and 60 seconds for each, against a classmate or Kogbot. Silent Student answers multiple-choice and short-text questions in an assignment linked from Canvas; the question-types table above shows the rest.
Source: Kognity Help Center, What types of questions are in the Kognity textbooks?, checked October 20, 2026.
Is Kognity free?
Not for students. Kognity’s pricing page says “Subscriptions are purchased at an organizational level,” and its FAQ answers “Do you sell to individual students or parents?” with “No.” Schools can start with “a 30-day free trial of each of our products,” and Kognity gives prices after a demo request instead of listing them. If your class uses Kognity, your school pays for it.
Source: Kognity, Pricing, checked October 20, 2026.
Does Kognity use AI?
Yes, for marking. Kognity’s help center describes “AI-suggested scores and reasoning” for exam-style questions, which a teacher accepts or declines, so “students see the score you confirm.” Its homepage lists reading tools such as “built-in translation, text-to-speech, and reading assistance tools,” and no AI that answers questions for students. Silent Student is not part of Kognity: it is a separate desktop app that answers Kognity assignments linked from Canvas.
Sources: Kognity Help Center, AI suggested scoring for exam-style questions; Kognity, homepage, checked October 20, 2026.
Who marks Kognity exam-style questions?
Your teacher. You type each answer into Kognity’s editor, which takes math, tables, code and images. Kognity can suggest a score with AI, but its marking guide tells teachers: “You always make the final decision. Students only see the score you confirm.” It also says photos of handwritten answers can’t be scored reliably by the AI yet.
Sources: Kognity Help Center, How do I mark an Exam-Style Question assignment?; Kognity, How do I complete an exam-style question assignment?, checked October 20, 2026.
Can your teacher see how long you spend on Kognity?
Partly. On a question assignment’s results page, Kognity tells teachers “The length of completion time and the number of attempts per question show the effort each student applied,” and that they “can also quickly see the timestamp of submitted work.” The Insights tab shows “the last time students were active on the platform” and the last five textbook sections each student opened. Silent Student does not hide or change anything Kognity records, and your school’s rules decide how you may use it.
Sources: Kognity Help Center, The question assignment results page; Kognity, Using Insights: the Last activity tab, checked October 20, 2026.
Can Kognity detect AI?
We found no Kognity help article that describes a detector for AI-written answers (we searched on October 20, 2026). Kognity documents what your teacher sees on a question assignment’s results page instead: completion time, attempts per question, when you submitted and each correct and incorrect response. Kognity also offers schools a worksheet, AI Tracker for Students, for students “to fill in every time they use an AI tool to assist in an assignment or task.” Your school’s rules apply whether or not anything is detected, and Silent Student does not hide or change anything Kognity records.
Sources: Kognity Help Center, The question assignment results page; Kognity, Worksheet: AI Tracker for Students, checked October 20, 2026.
What is a Kognity question set?
Kognity’s help articles don’t define a “question set.” The closest things are question assignments, where a teacher picks questions “from the question bank” or writes their own, each one short-answer or multiple-choice, and the Strength Test, where “Five questions are randomly selected” each time. Question assignments are graded automatically, and once you submit you can’t change your answers.

Does it work for English assignments on Kognity?
It works the Kognity assignment your teacher links in Canvas, English included. Kognity’s list of IB Diploma textbooks includes English A Language and Literature and English B SL/HL, beside French B, Spanish B and its science, math and Individuals and Societies books. Silent Student answers multiple-choice and short-text questions and types longer written answers, which your teacher marks. Read anything it writes, because Kognity does not let you change answers after you submit.
Source: Kognity Help Center, What textbooks are available for the IB DP?, checked October 20, 2026.
Can Kognity assignments be sent to Canvas?
Yes, when your school sets it up. Kognity’s help center (in Spanish) says the “Send to Canvas” option on book, question and performance-task assignments needs a class created through the Canvas rostering integration, and that automatic completion and grade updates, known as grade passback, need rostering through Edlink. That Canvas link is how Silent Student reaches Kognity.
Source: Kognity Help Center, Sincronización de tareas de Kognity con Canvas, checked October 20, 2026.
Does it work for IB and IGCSE courses on Kognity?
It works the Kognity assignment your teacher linked in Canvas, whatever the subject or course: IB Diploma, IGCSE or another. Subject knowledge comes from the AI, which can be wrong, and we have not published a recorded Kognity run, so check the run log after the first one.

Kognity FAQ
Does it need my Kognity password?
No. It follows the Kognity assignment link in your Canvas course and does not ask for or type your Kognity password.
Is Silent Student made by Kognity?
No. Silent Student is made by El Dorado Ignition LLC and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or certified by Kognity AB.
Can you change your answers on Kognity after you submit?
No. Kognity’s student guide says that after you submit a question assignment, “you won’t be able to modify your answers,” and reflection answers “cannot be edited once submitted.” If your teacher shows answers after each question, you see the correct one but “cannot resubmit the question.” Silent Student presses submit, so queue an assignment only when you are happy for it to hand the work in.
Do Kognity Strength Tests show the answers?
Yes. Kognity says that for Strength Tests and Strength Battles, “students will always receive their score and solutions after answering the questions.” Each Strength Test is five questions that are “randomly selected,” and “Your strength score is made up of your average strength test score.”
Do Kognity knowledge checks have to be answered correctly?
Yes, to count as done. Kognity’s help center says knowledge checks “must be answered correctly to be marked as ‘Completed’.” They sit throughout the reading, and Kognity calls them “perfect for checking basic comprehension.”
