Need help with your studies at a time when office hours and resource centers like the ARC and Math Lab are closed? A new resource, Numerade, may provide the support you need to promote your learning.
In fact, George Fox University was featured in a recent Forbes article for our partnership with Numerade. Numerade is a virtual learning platform specializing in STEM that can provide learning support to students at any time of day or night.
Through our partnership with Numerade, students have access to the Ace AI tutor, which uses advanced AI models that include ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. Although the system is focused on STEM subjects, the Ace AI tutor can help with organization, feedback and other general AI functions within a learning-focused framework. Sign up for a free Numerade account using your George Fox email address to get 24/7 learning support.
Always follow professor guidelines about appropriate use of AI tools; if in doubt, ask your professor. Review the AI for Learning page for guidelines and resources about responsible use of AI to support your learning.
