Recommended agent uses

3 workflows you could delegate to AI

1

Grade assessments and update marks

How you could use an agent

Use an agent to compile the roster, rubric, and scanned or uploaded student work, then draft score sheets, comment banks, and gradebook entries for your review. It can flag missing submissions, mismatched names, or uneven scoring across sections so you can finish grading faster and post marks with cleaner records.

Where you stay involved

You check the scored work, adjust anything the rubric does not capture well, handle disputes or suspected misconduct, and approve the final grades before they go into the official record.

Review level: High

2

Draft course modules and materials

How you could use an agent

Use an agent to pull together your course goals, reading list, lecture notes, and current geography sources, then draft a module package with a syllabus section, handouts, and assignment prompts. It can also line the materials up with your teaching calendar and draft a posting checklist for the LMS so the module is ready to teach.

Where you stay involved

You decide what content stays, what needs revision, and whether the materials fit your students and schedule. You also handle any accessibility concerns, policy questions, or missing resources before release.

Review level: Medium

3

Revise geography curriculum and outline

How you could use an agent

Use an agent to compare your current geography outline with recent readings, colleague notes, and course outcomes, then draft a revised syllabus outline or curriculum memo. It can summarize what changed, suggest new readings or sequencing, and prepare a clean version for committee review or departmental discussion.

Where you stay involved

You decide which changes belong in the course, weigh tradeoffs in coverage and workload, and submit the revision for the right approvals. You stay responsible for any program-level decisions or policy changes.

Review level: Medium

Documentation and coordination support

AI can assist without owning the physical outcome

These support steps are shown separately. They do not count as agentic workflows and do not increase this occupation's score.

Prepare grant proposal materials

Use an agent to gather your proposal notes, bibliography, prior findings, budget details, and sponsor instructions, then assemble a draft grant package with a submission checklist. It can help you spot missing attachments, formatting problems, and deadline issues so the draft is ready for research office review.

O*NET 31.0 · methodology 3.3.0. Every workflow passes an action-level physical-execution and protected human-and-veterinary clinical-action gate. Documentation workflows must own a complete digital loop and use digital task evidence only; support-only workflows are disclosed separately and excluded from scoring. Artistic, editorial, normative, and policy-dependent work receives a transparent human-judgment constraint. National ranking within 923 scored O*NET occupations under methodology 3.3.0.
