Since its debut in 2022, ChatGPT has been a topic of discussion among students using AI to tackle projects and assignments. Now, OpenAI introduces ChatGPT Edu, tailored for universities to responsibly integrate AI into student, faculty, researcher, and campus operations.
Before ChatGPT Edu, institutions like the University of Oxford, the University of Texas at Austin, and Columbia University utilized ChatGPT Enterprise effectively. Witnessing its impact, OpenAI developed ChatGPT Edu, powered by GPT-4o. This version encompasses text and vision reasoning and advanced tools such as data analysis.
ChatGPT Edu aids various campus tasks, including personalized tutoring, resume reviews, grant application writing, grading, and feedback for faculty. OpenAI commends its university partners for pioneering ways to make AI accessible across campus.
According to OpenAI, ChatGPT Edu excels in text interpretation, coding, and mathematics, boasting advanced features like data analytics, web browsing, and document summarization. Universities can create custom versions of ChatGPT, termed GPTs, and share them within their workspaces. ChatGPT Edu offers significantly higher message limits than the free version and boasts improved language capabilities across over 50 languages.
OpenAI highlights the success of undergraduates and MBA students at Wharton University, who completed final reflection assignments through discussions with a GPT trained on course materials. Students reported that ChatGPT encouraged deeper thinking about their learning.
