How can students use Gemini to help with studying?
The Gemini bot helps with writing texts and summarizing documents, and it can create images, give new ideas, and much more. Google is constantly focusing on enhancing the capabilities of the Gemini chatbot, and with the start of the school year, Google has introduced new features dedicated to helping students learn.
Whether you're a college student or in middle or high school, you can use Gemini to help you study and prepare for exams in a variety of ways, including:
1- Ask Gemini to help you understand the educational materials:
Gemini can explain different educational topics in an easy-to-understand way, suggesting videos that explain the topic or images that illustrate some concepts. This means that you can ask it to explain some concepts that are not clear to you.
For example: If you are studying the problem of inflation, you can write the following prompt to the bot: Suggest a video explaining inflation. Gemini will share helpful videos to help you understand the topic.
Or type: Explain inflation to me in an easy-to-understand way . The bot will give you an explanation you can easily understand, and if you want to go deeper on a particular point, ask Gemini a question that explains what area you’d like to go deeper into, or click on the links the bot added to the first answer to learn more.
2- Use the Learning Coach to get personalized study guidance:
Gemini Advanced subscribers have access to Gems , bots specifically designed to help with specific topics. One of these bots is a pre-built Learning Coach that can help you create a learning plan tailored to your needs. For example, you could turn to the Learning Coach and write the following prompt: I need to prepare for a midterm exam in Biology. Can you help me review topics related to Cells and Genetics?
You will receive a personalized learning plan covering the topics you have selected, explaining the key concepts in each area, with the ability to make adjustments to the plan or request to go deeper into specific topics.
3- Download educational materials to prepare for exams:
With Gemini Advanced , you can upload up to 10 documents at a time, such as a syllabus or your class notes, and then have Gemini explain the content or create a custom study guide. Gemini will analyze your material to extract key concepts and provide practice questions based on the learning material.
4- Test your knowledge through interactive tests:
Gemini can test your knowledge by offering interactive practice tests, and give you feedback and hints if you can’t answer a question correctly. To try this out, you can type the following prompt to Gemini: Test me on biology… , then select a specific biology topic you’d like the bot to test you on.
