Khan Academy partnered with Microsoft to provide all U.S. educators free access to its chatbot Khanmigo for Teachers.
Powered with Azure OpenAI Service, this tool has an intuitive interface that includes 20+ teacher activities without prompting.
Khanmigo for Teachers is designed to reduce the time educators spend on burdensome preparatory tasks, such as delivering standards-aligned differentiated lesson plans, developing rubrics for expository essays, creating lesson hooks, suggesting student groupings, providing insights on student performance, recommending assignments, and refreshing instructors’ knowledge.
These class prep tasks might consume over 50% of teachers’ time. The goal is to give them more time and focus with students.
Microsoft also announced that it will integrate Khan Academy content into its free school communication app Microsoft Teams for Education, which, according to the company, is designed to support the needs of students, educators, staff, and guardians.
Khan Academy’s content library covers math PreK-12 through early college, grammar, science, history, AP, SAT prep, and more.
As part of this deal, Khan Academy added a new “Share to Teams” feature to its platform, enabling sharing of its content in student assignments.
