Claude's new Learning mode will prompt students to answer questions on their own

According to a recent Digital Education Council survey, as many as 86 percent of university students globally use artificial intelligence to assist with their coursework. It's a staggering statistic that's likely to have far-reaching consequences for years to come. So it's not surprising to see a company like Anthropic announce Claude for Education, an initiative it says will equip universities to "play a key role in actively shaping AI's role in society." At the heart of Claude for Education is a new Learning mode that changes how Anthropic's chatbot interacts with users. With the feature engaged, Claude will attempt to guide students to a solution, rather than providing an answer outright, when asked a question.
