OpenAI has introduced a new feature called Study Mode in ChatGPT, enhancing interactive learning for students. Available today for all users, including Free, Plus, Pro, and Team plans, Study Mode emphasizes guided learning rather than direct answers. Key features comprise interactive prompts that foster critical thinking, scaffolded responses that simplify complex material, and personalized help tailored to individual skill levels based on prior interactions. Additionally, knowledge checks like quizzes and open-ended questions facilitate understanding. Users can toggle this mode on or off during their sessions, enabling a flexible learning experience. Aimed at supporting students in homework and exam preparation, Study Mode reflects OpenAI’s commitment to educational research and collaboration, including partnerships like Stanford’s SCALE Initiative. This feature promises a significant advancement in utilizing AI for educational purposes, emphasizing engagement and understanding over mere answers.
