Use an agent to review course materials and draft fixes

A student used an AI agent to work through online class tasks inside Canvas or Blackboard while they did other things.

What they did
Students pointed a custom or unnamed agent at their course account in Canvas or Blackboard and let it operate in the background. It handled quizzes, watched lecture videos, wrote papers, and added discussion posts on the student’s behalf.
How it went
A report cited by Futurism said ChatGPT, Gemini, and Grammarly did not refuse to write an entire paper, and the platforms did not block agents from signing in. Professors said they could not stop it, but schools are answering with in-person testing, device restrictions, and dropping honor-code exams.
Tips
This crosses into academic misconduct, so it is only useful as a cautionary example. If you want a legitimate use, keep the agent in review mode and have it surface issues without making changes.

Try it yourself with Claude Code

I’m looking at my [course name] course in [Canvas or Blackboard]. Review the modules, assignments, and pages for inconsistent labels, missing due dates, broken links, or confusing organization. Give me a clear list of suggested edits, then pause and ask before you make, delete, submit, or send anything.

Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
