End of Semester AI Report: More college students say AI is helping them get better grades
Pearson generative AI Study Tools are available in the Mastering study platform and Pearson+ eTextbooks, with 70,000 students at more than 1,000 higher ed institutions now using them. More than 2 million interactions with the tools have helped students benefit from personalized step-by-step guidance, content summarization, and explanations for challenging concepts.
Use of the tools shows students are focusing on learning difficult topics instead of just getting quick answers:
More broadly, a Pearson research survey of 800 nationally representative US college students, conducted with Morning Consult, shows an increasing interest in using AI tools for study.
"It is very encouraging that students are going deeper into their learning materials by using generative AI," stated "Their feedback on and usage of our study tools are helping us shape these AI experiences. We're seeing that students trust and enjoy AI that is embedded in their content. This is taking learning to a new level."
who used the AI study tools in his General Chemistry class said, "I felt much more prepared for class, quizzes, and exams all around. Not to mention you could ask the AI study tool any question at any given time."
To meet the growing demand, Pearson is expanding its AI study tools to 50 MyLab and Mastering study platform titles with integrated eTextbooks to reach millions of students in the US for the Fall 2024 semester. Pearson also recently announced the
launch of AI tools in international editions .
