Hawkes Learning announce the launch of its newest innovation, AI Tutor. Launched October 1st, and available in all Hawkes courseware, AI Tutor is a secure, AI-driven tool designed to empower students by providing immediate, individualized support with contextualized responses, enhancing mastery, and building confidence.

Extending Instructor Impact with AI Tutor

AI Tutor acts as a personal tutor for each student, offering guided prompts and simplified explanations to help them better understand complex material. This student-directed learning aid encourages learners to seek in-the-moment guidance as they navigate their coursework, ensuring they remain focused and engaged without external distractions.

“Hawkes already has many student support aspects built into the learning sequence, and this is just one more tool in the toolbox!” shared Professor Emily Carpenter of Seminole State College. “The autonomy that students will exercise utilizing the AI Tutor to get automatic support will be invaluable as they build academic success skills AND conceptual knowledge.”

Professor Melinda Clardy of South Louisiana Community College also shared her enthusiasm for the new feature, stating, "AI Tutor is aligned with my favorite feature of Hawkes–students are never alone. The program is there to support them even if I can't be."

A Secure and Ethical Approach to AI in Education

With a strong emphasis on security and ethical practices, AI Tutor offers instructors peace of mind by operating within a secure environment. The AI references only vetted Hawkes's instructional content, protecting user data and preventing the sharing of answers. AI Tutor encourages a thoughtful approach to learning, prompting students to engage deeply with the material.

Explore the Future of Learning with an AI Tutor

Hawkes Learning invites educators and students to explore how AI Tutor can transform the learning experience and drive student success. This innovative tool represents the future of education, providing a secure, student-centered approach to mastering course material in a technology-forward future.
