Google Introduces LearnLM for Personalized Learning

Written By Tom Daccord

At its recent Google I/O 2024 conference, the tech giant introduced LearnLM, a new family of models aimed at tutoring students conversationally.

LearnLM is designed to create engaging, personalized learning experiences, focusing on inspiring active learning, managing cognitive load, adapting to individual learners, stimulating curiosity, and deepening metacognition. The goal is to differentiate lessons and resources to meet each student's needs.

Google Classroom will soon integrate LearnLM to simplify and improve lesson planning, helping teachers generate ideas, activities, and materials.

Google is also introducing the 'Learning Coach' Gem – a custom chatbot that serves as a subject-matter expert. It’s designed to prompt students to think through problems, rather than simply providing answers.
