An agent put my whole course on Canvas in about a minute

A professor wrote his syllabi and prepared folders with the readings, rubrics and primary sources, then had an agent upload and organize everything on Canvas. Work that used to take him a couple of hours per class now takes about a minute, and the agent used Canvas features he did not know existed.

How it works

  1. Writes the syllabi and prepares folders with readings, rubrics and primary sources
  2. An agent uploads and organizes everything on Canvas
  3. The course page is ready in about a minute

Why it’s worth knowing

The agent did the setup better than he would have, using Canvas features he did not even know were there.
