# What Lena Agent can do

> The tasks Lena Agent handles in your courses, prompts that work well, and the things it won’t do.

Lena Agent works in your courses the way you would in the app: it looks things
up, drafts work and, with your approval, publishes and sends. This page lists
what it handles, gives prompts to start from, and says where its limits are.

## What it handles

"Draft" means it goes ahead and you can still change the result. "Yes" means it
shows you an approval card first. Changing anything students can already see
also asks first. Your
[approval setting](https://support.lena.africa/agent/approvals-and-safety.md#choose-how-it-asks) can make it
ask more often.

| What | For example | Needs your approval? |
| - | - | - |
| Look things up | How a class did on a quiz, who hasn't submitted, what's in Week 3, your gradebook | No |
| Set up a course | A draft course from an outline, folders and study materials, the grade breakdown | Draft. Publishing, opening enrolment, co-teachers and ending: yes |
| Quizzes | A multiple-choice quiz from your notes, graded or practice, a later deadline | Draft. Publishing, reminding and releasing results: yes |
| Assignments and rubrics | A draft assignment, a rubric drafted from the question or from a scheme you have | Draft. Publishing: yes |
| Marking | A whole class marked against its rubric ([how](https://support.lena.africa/agent/grading.md)), for you to review | Yes, every grade, and releasing them |
| Exams | A draft exam and its questions, a check for problems, the results breakdown | Draft. Publishing and releasing results: yes |
| Announcements and discussions | Draft and post an announcement, start a discussion, reply to one | Yes, because they notify people |
| Reminders | A short reminder to only the students who haven't handed in an assignment or quiz | Yes |
| Calendar | Class sessions on a course's timetable | Adding: no. Removing: yes |
| Read files | PDFs, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, text and scanned pages you attach | No |

Class averages from a course's gradebook go only to the course's **Owner**.

## What it can't do

* **Other kinds of questions.** Quizzes and exams are multiple choice. It can't
  write fill-in-the-blank or diagram questions.
* **Slides and simulations.** It doesn't make slide decks or interactive
  activities.
* **One student's extra time.** It can move a quiz's late deadline for everyone,
  not for one student.
* **Some course and quiz options.** It can't hide answers until everyone has
  submitted, or publish only some weeks of a course.
* **Grade exports.** Download them from the course's gradebook.
* **Exam reminders.** Reminders are for assignments and quizzes.
* **Personal calendar entries.** Students see course calendars, so it won't put
  a staff meeting there.
* **Anything about money or your account.** See
  [what it never does](https://support.lena.africa/agent/approvals-and-safety.md#what-it-never-does).

## Tips for good requests

* **Name the course and the work.** "Essay 1 in PSY 101" beats "the essay". Or
  pick the course with **All courses** under the message box, so the whole chat
  is about it.
* **Attach the source.** For a quiz or a course outline,
  [attach your notes](https://support.lena.africa/agent/files.md) rather than describing them.
* **Say draft or publish.** "Make a quiz" leaves a draft. "Make a quiz and
  publish it" also asks you to approve publishing.
* **Ask for one big thing at a time.** A very long request can stop with "This
  needed more steps than the agent takes in one go". Split it in two.
* **Answer its questions.** If it asks which exam you mean or when it's due, a
  short reply gets it going.
