AI-Based Math Learning with Individualized Eye Tracking - Researchers are developing an AI system that uses webcam eye-tracking to identify math strengths and weaknesses in schoolchildren, providing tailored support and insights for teachers.
Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the University of Cologne have developed an AI-based learning system designed to provide individualized support for schoolchildren in mathematics. The system utilizes eye-tracking technology via a standard webcam to identify students’ strengths and weaknesses. By monitoring eye movements, the AI can pinpoint areas where students struggle, displaying the data on a heatmap with red indicating frequent focus and green representing areas glanced over briefly.

This AI-driven approach allows teachers to provide more targeted assistance, improving the efficiency and personalization of math education. The software classifies the eye movement patterns and selects appropriate learning videos and exercises for each pupil. Professor Maike Schindler from the University of Cologne, who has collaborated with TUM Professor Achim Lilienthal for ten years, emphasizes that this system is completely new, tracking eye movements, recognizing learning strategies via patterns, offering individual support, and creating automated support reports for teachers.

Anthropic's Claude AI Transforms Education - Anthropic has launched Claude for Education with Learning Mode that teaches critical thinking rather than providing answers, partnering with top universities to transform AI’s role in education.
Anthropic has unveiled Claude for Education, a specialized AI assistant designed to cultivate critical thinking skills in students. Unlike conventional AI tools that simply provide answers, Claude employs a Socratic-based "Learning Mode" that prompts students with guiding questions, encouraging them to engage in deeper reasoning and problem-solving. This innovative approach aims to address concerns about AI potentially hindering intellectual development by promoting shortcut thinking.

Partnerships with Northeastern University, the London School of Economics, and Champlain College will integrate Claude across multiple campuses, reaching tens of thousands of students. These institutions are making a significant investment in AI, betting that it can improve the learning process. Faculty can use Claude to generate rubrics aligned with learning outcomes and create chemistry equations, while administrative staff can analyze enrollment trends and simplify policy documents. These institutions are testing the system across teaching, research, and administrative workflows.

California State University (CSU) is rolling out a specialized version of ChatGPT, called ChatGPT Edu, to over 500,000 students and faculty across its 23 campuses. This marks OpenAI's largest AI education deployment to date, signifying a major move in how higher education institutions are adopting artificial intelligence. CSU is now the first AI-powered university system in the US.

This initiative aims to provide students with personalized tutoring and study guides, while faculty can utilize it for curriculum development and administrative tasks. The university is also launching a platform for free AI training programs, certifications, and apprenticeship opportunities in AI-driven industries. preliminary studies suggest that AI-powered tutoring could double student engagement and improve problem-solving skills.
