Google shares ways in which Gemini can help students in this upcoming school year
The new school year is here, and Google isn't wasting any time in suggesting ways in which Gemini is ready to help students study smarter with its latest features. Posted on its blog, these are the ways Gemini can help in the learning process:
Beyond textbooks and study guides, Gemini can enrich learning by providing easy-to-understand explanations, relevant videos, images, and real-life examples. Students can ask for recommendations for learning materials, and Gemini will curate a list of online resources that match their query.
- One notable addition is Gemini's ability to access information from OpenStax textbooks. Students struggling with complex concepts can ask Gemini questions directly and receive clear explanations, complete with links to the relevant sections in the textbook. This eliminates the need to sift through physical books or conduct time-consuming online searches.
- Interactive quizzes are another way Gemini is promoting engagement and knowledge retention. These quizzes offer not just questions and answers but also step-by-step guidance and feedback, making them valuable for self-assessment and building confidence in various subjects.
- Gemini Advanced subscribers get even more features, including the ability to upload their own study materials like syllabi and notes. Gemini can then analyze these documents to generate custom study guides, highlight key concepts, or create practice questions, further personalizing the learning experience.
- The Learning coach Gem serves as a virtual tutor, helping students create tailored study plans with progress tracking. Students can outline their goals and specific areas of focus, and the Gem will create a structured plan to guide them through their studies.

These features are designed to support students across various learning styles and academic needs, whether they're preparing for a big exam or simply trying to grasp new concepts. While the tools are powerful, Google is also emphasizing responsibility. School administrators have the ability to control access to Gemini for their students through Google Workspace for Education, and additional data protection and access controls for teenagers are in the works.
