- Anthropic launched an AI assistant for colleges called Claude for Education.
- The new AI aims to help students, teachers and administrators with everything, from tutoring to policy summaries.
- The new learning mode offers Socratic interrogation rather than simply answering questions.
Anthropic has a new version of its AI Claude assistant for the world of higher education. The new Claude for Education model offers universities a way to incorporate a less disruptive version of AI into classrooms and offices.
Claude for Education is designed to help students in their studies without doing it for them and to help teachers personalize their programs. Although Claude, like any other AI chatbot, can write an article that a student could try to pass as their, Claude for Education tries to solve this problem with the new learning method. Claude will just like to answer questions to answer with questions except at the same time to the Socratic teaching method.
Ask the answer, and Claude could rather ask for ways to think about the problem or what proof could support a thesis. Presumably, he would answer a question about the speed of an empty avalia by asking what subspecies the tasting belongs. It can also create a study guide depending on the materials you download. This is essentially a Google Notebook feature, but it has an obvious utility in college. You can see how it works below.
Claude College
Anthropic wants students to consider AI minus a homework machine and more a thought. Since more than a quarter of cat cats for homework, this is a problem that must be solved. No one wants to create a generation of students who copy the production of AI to stick to their tests.
And some schools react. The Northeastern University signed as the first official “design partner” of Anthropic, offering access to Claude to 50,000 students, teachers and staff on its 13 campuses. The Champlain College and the London School of Economics and Political Science are also among the first adopters.
Openai has its own tools focused on education, and CEO Sam Altman even announced that Chatgpt Plus would be free for students until colleges until May. Claude’s approach is more concentrated, such as the Openai offer made with the Arizona State University to integrate its AI into school.
Anthropic seeks to expand the adoption of Claude in schools thanks to his new Claude Campus Ambassadors program, which leads students to work with the company to deploy educational initiatives. They also offer API credits to students who wish to build nice projects using Claude.
Of course, the real test is not the number of students use Claude, but how they use it. Because if I like the idea that AI makes life easier for students and teachers, there is a line between the use of technology to learn and use it to dodge learning entirely. And this line is, well, blurred. It will be necessary to continue to look at how these tools are used and if they really help students to learn significantly and human.
