Kognity

Kognity assignments, answered from the book

Kognity is a digital textbook for IB, IGCSE and similar courses, with questions built into each section. When an assignment is linked from Canvas, Silent Student works the questions it sets.

What it handles

Kognity, done for you.

Questions in context

Kognity questions sit next to the section they test. The agent reads the question on screen and answers it there.

Auto-marked questions

Multiple-choice and short auto-marked questions are answered and checked against Kognity's own response.

Written responses

Longer written answers are typed from the section, but your teacher marks them. Read them before you hand in.

Linked from Canvas

Kognity can be linked into Canvas. The agent follows the assignment link your teacher posted.

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 Kognity assignment in your Canvas course list, and queue it like any other.

  2. 2

    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 password.

  3. 3

    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.

  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.

Kognity is mostly reading and questions. A few parts are not for the agent.

No purpose-built solver, no published run yet

Kognity 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.

Teacher-marked writing

Written and exam-style answers are marked by your teacher, not Kognity. The agent writes them, but 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 to take

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.

Questions

Kognity FAQ

It works the Kognity assignment linked from your Canvas course, whatever the subject. We have not published a recorded run on Kognity yet, so check the run log after the first one.

Kognity records your answers and time spent on assignments and sections, 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 an answer from the section, but your teacher marks it. Check anything written before it counts.
