You first met our game-changing<\/span> GenAI-powered Student Assistant<\/span><\/a> in August 2024, and we\u2019ve been keeping you up to date on all of the exciting <\/span>developments<\/span><\/a> ever since. We\u2019ve told you how it helps personalize your students\u2019 learning experience on a whole new level with content that\u2019s specific to your course textbook \u2014 but now we want to show you how.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s dive in and explore some visual examples of student interactions that demonstrate its full capabilities.<\/span><\/p>\n

Points students in the right direction\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Do your students ever get stuck on how to begin working on a question or topic? Using the Student Assistant, students can ask for a solid jumping-off point to get the ball rolling in the right direction. They can also ask it to clarify points of confusion, so they can successfully progress through an assignment. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Student<\/a> \"Student<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Student<\/a><\/p>\n

Promotes critical thinking and academic integrity<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Student Assistant guides students to help them identify the correct answer, without giving it away, promoting the development of critical thinking skills and putting emphasis on self-reliance. Students are also discouraged from simply guessing a correct answer and are asked to explain their logic behind a selection.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Student<\/a> \"The<\/a><\/p>\n

Simplifies complex topics<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

If students are struggling to comprehend what they\u2019re learning, they can ask for topics to be elaborated on, rephrased or broken down. They can also ask for brief definitions of key terms.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Student<\/a> \"Student<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Student<\/a><\/p>\n

Makes real-world connections<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

With the Student Assistant, students can ask for explanations of how topics they\u2019re studying connect to real-world scenarios. It can generate discipline- and career<\/span>-specific use-cases, helping students understand the relevancy of course content within the framework of their future careers.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Student<\/a> \"Student<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Student<\/a><\/p>\n

Keeps students on track<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Getting distracted during a task is something that can happen to the best of us, and students are no exception. If students ask to be shown external or entertaining web content, the Student Assistant will redirect and keep them focused on the assignment at hand. This tool will never provide or rely on external content.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Student<\/a><\/p>\n

Motivates and encourages<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Student Assistant lets students know that it\u2019s okay to struggle through an assignment by encouraging them with a positive, motivational tone. With positive reassurance from the Student Assistant, students can complete assignments with confidence.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Student<\/a><\/p>\n

Reframes course content\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

When students aren\u2019t making personal connections with course content, it can be easy for them to lose interest in the topic altogether. Students can ask for their course topics to be turned into an engaging story, helping them key into critical themes and ideas that they may have initially overlooked.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Student<\/a><\/p>\n

Can\u2019t wait to begin using the Student Assistant in your courses?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Student Assistant is currently available in beta with select titles, including <\/span>\u201cAnatomy & Physiology\u201d<\/span><\/a>, \u201cCompTIA Network+ Guide to Networks\u201d<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>\u201cEconomics.\u201d<\/span><\/a>\u00a0 To get started, create a course with any of the titles available with the Student Assistant and start using it today.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

We\u2019re gearing up for more titles to feature the Student Assistant this fall. In the meantime, you can currently explore this tool\u2019s capabilities, its current list of titles where it\u2019s featured and <\/span>AI at Cengage<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n
