Previously, teachers had to pay $4 a month for Khanmigo for Teachers.
The pilot version of Khanmigo for Teachers will be made available to all K-12 instructors in the United States at no cost according to a relationship that has been developed between Microsoft and the educational organization Khan Academy, which is a non-profit organization. Khanmigo is an artificial intelligence-powered teaching assistant that can assist educators in discovering methods to include more fun and engagement in their classes. In addition to this, it will give teachers with materials that they can use to refresh their knowledge, display information on a student’s performance so that teachers may evaluate the student’s development, and recommend tasks.
A lesson plan can also be easily created using this application, and it can also propose student groups for tasks that require teamwork. According to Khan Academy, Khanmigo has the potential to save teachers an average of five hours of regular work each week. Educators were previously required to pay $4 a month for the service; however, Khan Academy has eliminated those fees as a result of its partnership with Microsoft, which enables it to use the Azure OpenAI Service entirely free of charge to power Khanmigo.
Khan Academy will also assist Microsoft with the training of the company’s Phi-3 small language models (SLMs) and the development of its skills to provide math tuition that is powered by artificial intelligence as part of their collaboration. The organization will provide the corporation with access to instructional materials that are full of explanations and can be fed to Phi-3. These materials include step-by-step directions on how to solve mathematical problems. Khan Academy has high hopes that autonomous learning machines (SLMs) such as Phi-3, which are capable of operating locally on devices, could one day be able to offer teaching assistance and tutoring to educators and students in areas that are lacking certain resources. An additional amount of content from Khan Academy will be added to Copilot and Teams for Education by Microsoft in order to make the educational library of the organization accessible to a greater number of individuals.
