Gemini for Education catching on with higher ed, Google says
Google announced this week that its Gemini for Education product is catching on with higher education institutions, having been adopted into “academic and administrative frameworks” by more than 1,000 colleges and universities across the United States.
Gemini for Education, which the search giant claims will “transform teaching and learning” offers a generative artificial intelligence chatbot that is designed to provide assistance to students, help prepare for exams, create practice materials and design lesson plans. According to Google, the tool is now available free of charge.
“Beyond access to our most powerful technology, we believe that providing a strong training infrastructure is key,” the company’s announcement reads. “Last month, we launched the Google AI for Education Accelerator, an initiative that offers free AI training and Google Career Certificates to every college student in the U.S.”
The announcement goes on to reference a handful of case studies, showcasing institutions where the Gemini for Education tool has been used to boost online registrations, increase senior graduation rates and provide students with timely assistance.
