- Anthrope has launched an AI assistant for universities 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 questions instead of just answer questions.
Anthrope has a new version of his assistant to the CLAUDE aimed at the world of higher education. The new Claude For Education model offers universities a way to incorporate a less disruptive version of AI in classrooms and offices.
Claude for Education is designed to help students with their studies without just doing so and to help teachers customize their curricula. Although Claude, like any other AI chatbot, could write an article that a student could try to pass as his, Claude for Education tries to address that problem with the new learning mode. Claude will change you just answer questions to answer with your own questions in a wink to the Socratic Teaching Method.
Request the answer, and Claude could ask for ways of thinking about the problem or what proof could support a thesis. Presumably, he would answer a question about the air speed of a swallow not open asking which subspecies the swallow belongs. You can also make a study guide based on the materials you upload. That is essentially a characteristic of the Google notebook too, but it has an obvious utility in the university. You can see how it works below.

Anthrope wants students to consider the least a task machine and more a reflective ta. Since more than a quarter of chatgpt adolescence only for the task, it is a problem that must be addressed. Nobody wants to create a generation of students who only copy the production of AI in their essays.
And some schools are responding. Northeastern University has signed as the first “design partner” of Anthrope, which offers Claude access to 50,000 students, teachers and staff on their 13 campus. Champlain College and London School of Economics and Political Science are also among the first adopters.
Operai has its own education -centered tools, and CEO Sam Altman even announced that Chatgpt Plus would be free for university students until May. Claude’s approach is more focused, such as the OpenAi agreement made with Arizona State University to incorporate his AI in school.
Anthrope is looking to expand Claude’s adoption in schools through his new ambassadors program of the Claude Campus, which makes students work with the company in the implementation of educational initiatives. They also offer API credits to students who want to build great projects with Claude.
Of course, the real test is not how many students Claude use, but how they use it. Because as much as I love the idea that AI facilitates life for students and teachers, there is a line between using technology to learn and use it completely learning. And that line is, well, blurred. It will be necessary to continue observing how these tools are used and if students really help to learn significantly and humanly.
