Microsoft Education has introduced new AI tools for schools, including an expanded Copilot for Microsoft 365, a collaboration app called Loop, and an AI-powered Reading Coach. These tools aim to improve learning experiences for students.

Starting January 1, 2024, more people, including students and teachers using free Microsoft services, can use Copilot. Institutions like The University of Hong Kong and The University of Manchester are already using it. Microsoft also made it easier for different schools to get Copilot.

Loop, an AI-powered app, will be part of Microsoft 365 plans from March 2024. It’s designed to help students and teachers work together on projects in a new way.

The Reading Coach is a tool that uses generative AI to help people become better readers. It adjusts to each person’s level, provides dynamic story creation, and gives feedback on how well someone is reading.

Teachers using Microsoft Teams for Education and Microsoft Reflect will also get new AI features. These features, coming later this year, will help teachers save time and teach in a way that suits each student.

Microsoft is also making sure that teachers and students learn how to use these AI tools safely. They’ve created the AI for Educators Learning Path on Microsoft Learn to guide them.
