Graded Assignment
Description
When Agentic OS is embedded in Canvas as an LTI tool, it can grade learner responses inside an Assignment and automatically pass the score back to the Canvas gradebook. Learners type their answers directly in the agent chat, receive an instant score (and, soon, AI-generated feedback), and watch their grade update in real time—no manual grading steps required.
Target Audience
Administrator
Features
Instant AI Scoring
The agent evaluates each submitted answer and returns a numeric grade (e.g., 10 / 10).
Automatic Grade Passback
Scores sync to the Canvas gradebook immediately after each response.
Iterative Resubmission
Every new answer replaces the previous score (e.g., a perfect 10 drops to 0 if the next attempt is wrong).
Future Enhancements (preview)
- AI-generated feedback accompanying each grade
- Support for file uploads (PDF, Word, Excel, etc.) that the agent can grade
