Silent Student signs into UT Austin's Canvas at utexas.instructure.com through your UT EID and Duo, syncs every course, and works the queue in due-date order in the background. From MindTap and Aplia economics homework to your RHE 306 essays and discussion posts, it handles the busywork while Draft Review holds your written work for approval.
UT Austin's LMS is Canvas at utexas.instructure.com, with its info portal at canvas.utexas.edu. The Canvas login page shows a "Sign in with your UT EID" button that hands off to UT's central Enterprise Authentication, where you enter your UT EID and password and then clear a Duo multi-factor prompt. Silent Student is built around Canvas, so it reads your courses through the same Canvas your instructors post to.
These high-enrollment UT Austin courses run on courseware Silent Student already automates — Cengage for the economics core and native Canvas for writing. UT's largest STEM intro courses run on UT's in-house Quest system instead, which Silent Student handles with its general visual agent rather than a dedicated solver. Coursework varies by section and instructor, so confirm your own before you rely on it.
UT's high-enrollment intro microeconomics course commonly runs its online homework on the Cengage MindTap suite, opened through the Canvas course site; Silent Student launches MindTap and works the set end to end, routing anything under your 85% confidence threshold to review.
Cengage / MindTap solver →The companion macroeconomics core course commonly uses Cengage's Aplia for its online problem sets tied to the e-book; Silent Student follows the link from Canvas and works the homework one item at a time.
Cengage / MindTap solver →This required first-year writing course is major writing projects, annotated citations, and discussion-board posts handled directly in Canvas — there's no auto-graded publisher platform — so your drafts are held in Draft Review for approval before anything posts.
Canvas solver →First-semester calculus runs its online homework on UT Quest, the College of Natural Sciences' in-house system at quest.cns.utexas.edu — not a publisher platform, so there's no dedicated solver. Silent Student opens it from Canvas and works it with its general visual agent, holding anything uncertain for your review.
How it works →Sign in with your UT EID and approve the Duo prompt. Silent Student keeps the Canvas session running.
Every UT Austin course and assignment is pulled from Canvas and ordered by due date.
Essays and discussion posts — like RHE 306 — are held in Draft Review, and answers below your 85% confidence threshold route to a review queue.
Approved work is submitted and logged in Canvas while you're in class or asleep.
Yes. Silent Student is built around Canvas and signs in through your UT EID, following the "Sign in with your UT EID" hand-off from utexas.instructure.com to UT's Enterprise Authentication just like your browser does.
You approve one Duo prompt — a push, phone call, or passcode — when the session starts. Duo is used campus-wide at UT, and UT recommends enrolling at least two devices; the trusted session then persists, so you are not re-prompted on every run.
Native Canvas quizzes, essays, and discussions — like RHE 306 Rhetoric & Writing — plus the Cengage economics core: MindTap for ECO 304K and Aplia for ECO 304L. Many of UT's big STEM intro courses — first-semester calculus like M 408C, plus much of the chemistry, physics, and biology sequence — run on UT's in-house Quest system, which isn't a dedicated solver, so Silent Student works those with its general visual agent and your review.
Yes. Whether you come in through UT's Coordinated Admission Program (CAP) or transfer credit through the Texas Common Course Numbering System, Silent Student also covers the other Texas schools we have pages for: Texas A&M (also Canvas, with NetID and Duo) and Blinn College (eCampus, which is D2L Brightspace). Austin Community College is a major regional transfer source for UT, so your queue is covered before and after you transfer.
You decide how to use it. Draft Review Mode holds written work for your approval before anything posts, and the 85% confidence threshold sends uncertain answers to a review queue rather than submitting them.
No. Silent Student is a signed desktop app for macOS and Windows that runs your queue in the background after you connect once.
