Kami App and Book Creator, both built for Canvas

Kami App connects directly with Canvas, so teachers can assign, annotate, autograde, and sync grades without leaving the tools they already use every day.

Book Creator does too, letting teachers create and grade student book assignments right inside Canvas.

One Canvas workflow, built to support instructional practice

Kami App and Book Creator each fit into Canvas the way your teachers already work, so adding a second product doesn't mean adding a second workflow to manage.

One login, two ways to support instructional practice

Teachers assign, grade, and monitor progress for both annotated documents and student-created books without leaving Canvas or juggling a second set of credentials.

Kami App Class View autogrades each student's reading quiz answers as they work.

Class-wide visibility while work is happening

Insights and autograding surface where students are stuck while there’s still time to act, instead of after an assignment is turned in.

Nothing to re-enter by hand

Kami App grades sync automatically to the Canvas gradebook, and Book Creator submissions land there too, so neither product adds a manual step to grading day.

How Kami App works with Canvas

Teachers create a Kami assignment directly in Canvas, so students open and annotate the same file as everyone else in the class without a separate login or a second tab.

Completed work and grades sync back to the Canvas gradebook, so nothing needs re-entering by hand.

Book Creator and Canvas integration

Book Creator's Canvas integration works as a genuine second workflow, not just a login. Teachers create a Book Creator assignment directly in Canvas, students turn in their finished book from inside Canvas, and teachers read and grade that work from the Canvas gradebook itself.

One login, one gradebook, two ways to support instructional practice

Create a Book Creator assignment the same way you’d create any other Canvas assignment.

Students submit without leaving Canvas

Students turn in their finished book directly through the Canvas assignment, no separate link or export step.

Grade from the Canvas gradebook

Teachers read and grade finished books from the Canvas gradebook itself.
