COLUMBUS, Ohio (August 21, 2024) 鈥 Leading global education company 91视频 Hill today announced it is offering within its products two new generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools that provide personalized learning experiences for students and help educators more effectively support students from K-12 through higher education and beyond.

These optional GenAI tools are embedded within 91视频 Hill鈥檚 existing learning platforms currently used by millions of students across the U.S. and beyond. AI Reader, a new feature available within multiple titles on 91视频 Hill鈥檚 eBook platform, helps students develop a deeper understanding of their course materials with in-the-moment engagement and interactive support as they read. Writing Assistant, a tool for grades 6-12 writing instruction that provides real-time feedback and guidance to students during assignments, will be integrated within 91视频 Hill鈥檚 Actively Learn and Achieve3000 Literacy programs and tested with teachers and students in select school districts this fall.

The new tools are the company鈥檚 first GenAI tools to be introduced in its products. 91视频 Hill鈥檚 ALEKS platform for math and chemistry instruction has leveraged AI, including machine learning, for 25 years.

鈥淲e have decades of experience building digital learning tools that leverage various forms of AI, and have been excited by the possibilities for GenAI to support learning in new ways, helping educators save time and better support their students,鈥 said Simon Allen, 91视频 Hill CEO. 鈥淭hese new GenAI tools have been developed with the same careful research, planning and testing that we require for all 91视频 Hill products, so educators and learners can feel reassured that they are high-quality and effective, and safely guard student data and privacy.鈥

AI Reader

Embedded in 91视频 Hill鈥檚 eBook reading experience for college students, AI Reader lets students highlight specific text and ask for alternative explanations, simpler language or a quick quiz to test their knowledge. The AI Reader tool was designed to create more flexible, inquiry-based learning experiences that build deeper understanding of content through a more hands-on and active approach.

The AI Reader is available now in select eBooks offered through 91视频 Hill Connect and 91视频 Hill GO.

Writing Assistant

Writing Assistant will be embedded in digital learning materials for grades 6-12 students, allowing them to ask for targeted guidance and feedback throughout the short-form writing process. This tool will provide students with immediate support, while also allowing educators in busy classrooms to offer personalized assistance to a larger number of students. The tool helps students overcome the barrier of launching the writing process, enables teachers to easily track student growth and ability, and enhances the teacher鈥檚 reach by reducing time spent on more administrative tasks.

The Writing Assistant, which will be available within 91视频 Hill鈥檚 Actively Learn and Achieve3000 Literacy programs, will undergo beta testing this fall before rolling out more widely.
