Claude’s new learning model will prompt students to answer questions themselves

According to a recent Digital Education Board survey, up to 86% of college students use artificial intelligence worldwide to assist their courses. This is a stunning statistic that can have far-reaching consequences in the coming years. So it’s no surprise to see that like Anthropic announced the company Claude Education, this initiative will enable universities to “play a critical role in actively shaping AI in society.”

At the heart of Claude education is a new learning model that changes the way human chatbots interact with users. With the feature involved, Claude will try to guide students to the solution instead of providing answers directly when asked. It will also take a Socrates approach in the conversation, asking questions like “What evidence supports your conclusion?”? As a way to guide users to understand. All of this is powered by 3.7 SONNET, Anthropic’s new hybrid inference model and associated with Claude’s Projects feature, which gives you a way to organize chats around a specific topic.

Claude for Char Education is available to all professional users. Additionally, Anthropic has partnered with Northeastern University, the London School of Economics and Political Science and Political and Champlain College to make Claude accessible to all students at these institutions.

Meanwhile, the company is launching two new plans. First is the Claude Campus Ambassador, which gives students the opportunity to work directly with humans to launch educational programs in their schools. Meanwhile, the second will provide anthropomorphic API credits to students engaged in the Cloud program. The company said it will work with the companies behind Canvas Learning software to increase access to the tools universities use AI to integrate AI into their teaching.
