Google's AI-Assisted Learning

Headlining the features is the newest ability of teachers to include questions in YouTube films assigned in their classroom, reportedly first introduced last June. As students respond to questions, Google states they can now receive immediate feedback while allowing teachers to gain in-depth knowledge that helps them support kids more specifically when needed. Teachers will soon reportedly have the opportunity to try out questions recommended by AI as well. 

Google's Practice set will soon also use AI to assist teachers in developing interactive courses that let students present their work, receive immediate feedback, and access resources approved by teachers when they encounter difficulties. 

Teachers may now also create an interactive practice set using a Google Form with completely accessible localized learning resources offered in over 50 languages. Tech Crunch adds that the business also announced that instructors may get help creating lesson plans with Duet AI, their generative AI tool for Google Workspace. 

Later this year, instructors will be able to create distinct groups with distinct assignments in the classroom. Additionally, they may design a lesson with narration in addition to the slide deck by utilizing the Slides' speaker spotlight function.

Educators may now effortlessly obtain signatures for contracts or approvals by using the eSignature feature included in Google Workspace. Additionally, the business is improving Classroom analytics so that teachers may view data on assignment completion and grade patterns. 

Google's Newest Hardware

Aside from new features, Google is also set to introduce new hardware with its 15 brand-new Chromebooks set to be released this year as displayed at Bett. Furthermore, Chromebooks will soon receive an update from Google, allowing students to view their forthcoming assignments straight from the home screen. 

Google is bringing the capability to extract text from PDFs for screen readers to ChromeOS. Additionally, users may highlight and read aloud text using the Chome browser. Further, the business is enhancing Google Meet with features like multi-host pinning and closed captioning in thirty languages.
