Imagine you're in the middle of a busy afternoon and you need to check which students from your history class turned in their essays. Usually, that means opening a new tab, hunting for the right course, and clicking through a list of names. With this Connector, you just ask your agent to show you the status of the Chapter 5 assignment. It handles the heavy lifting of scanning the roster and summarizing who's on time and who's lagging behind. You can even have it draft a new announcement for the whole class or create a new set of coursework with specific due dates. It turns your AI client into a teaching assistant that actually knows your specific classroom data. Because Vinkius hosts this and hundreds of other connectors, you can keep all your educational tools in one place while letting the agent do the repetitive clicking. It's about moving from manual data entry to just telling your agent what needs to happen next. You can manage your entire curriculum, from the first day of school to the final exam, without ever having to manually copy and paste student IDs or search for specific course codes. It makes the administrative side of education feel like a conversation rather than a chore. ## Tools ### create_announcement Post a new update or reminder to your course stream.

They ask their agent to show the late list, and it uses list_submissions to summarize the status. ### Building a new unit A professor wants to create a quiz for Chapter 4 due next Monday.

They ask the agent to show the roster, and it uses list_students to pull the names instantly. ### Blasting a reminder A teacher needs to tell everyone there is no class tomorrow.
