Quick start guides

Pick your LMS below for exact steps to get StudyAgent running.

Canvas

  1. Install the StudyAgent extension and sign in (or start your free trial).
  2. Open your Canvas course, then go to the quiz, assignment, or discussion page you want help with.
  3. Click the StudyAgent icon in your browser toolbar — it detects Canvas automatically.
  4. Type what you want done (e.g. "complete this quiz") and press Start.
  5. The agent reads the question and answer options directly from the Canvas quiz player and clicks through it for you.
Canvas quizzes with a strict time limit may move faster than the agent — for timed quizzes, keep the tab in focus while it runs.

Blackboard

  1. Install the extension and sign in from studyagent.madvice.ca.
  2. Navigate to the Blackboard assessment or discussion board page.
  3. Open the StudyAgent popup and describe the task.
  4. Blackboard often loads quiz content inside an iframe — StudyAgent reads inside frames automatically, so just make sure the question is visible on screen before starting.
If Blackboard shows a "Save and Submit" confirmation dialog, the agent will click through it as part of finishing the task.

Moodle

  1. Install the extension and sign in.
  2. Open the Moodle quiz attempt page or forum you need help with.
  3. Start the agent from the popup — Moodle's question-per-page layout works especially well since each page is a single question.
  4. For multi-question quiz pages, the agent will scroll and answer each question before submitting the page.
For Moodle forums, describe the discussion topic in your task so the agent can draft a relevant reply.

D2L (Brightspace)

  1. Install the extension and sign in.
  2. Open the Brightspace quiz or assignment page.
  3. Open the StudyAgent popup and start the task.
  4. Brightspace quizzes usually show one question per screen with a "Save and Continue" button — the agent handles navigating through them automatically.
If your course uses D2L's content player for reading assignments, StudyAgent works best on the quiz/discussion pages rather than the reading viewer itself.
