GotIt! Offers Free Access to MathGPT for All U.S. State and Community Colleges

GotIt! Education is enhancing access to its AI-powered math tutor, MathGPT, by launching a free Essentials Version for all U.S. state and community colleges.

Introduced in 2023, MathGPT is a multimodal platform that combines OpenAI’s ChatGPT model with interactive audio and video resources.

“Too many schools can’t afford AI,” said GotIt! Education Chairman Peter Relan. “With MathGPT now available at no cost, schools can explore AI-based tutoring solutions without straining their budgets. Our free MathGPT Essentials program allows institutions to transition from ineffective AI tutors that hinder the adoption of technology in education.”

The new MathGPT Essentials Version offers three key features:

1. Course Management: Instructors can design personalized courses using safeguarded educational content.

2. Assignment Management: Automated creation and grading of assignments streamline the teaching process.

3. Grounded AI Tutor: This feature provides tailored and patient AI instruction, evaluating and correcting student inputs step-by-step.

In the 2024 winter term, 30 college classrooms across the U.S. adopted MathGPT, with students completing over 10,000 AI tutoring sessions (equating to 150,000 minutes). Notably, the AI did not deliver answers directly but offered thorough, step-by-step tutoring while accurately assessing student responses, all without generating erroneous information.

The wider release of MathGPT aligns with ongoing discussions among academic institutions about integrating AI in education. While some educators utilize ChatGPT for grading essays, this practice raises ethical questions. By offering MathGPT for free to state and community colleges, GotIt! Education aims to support students facing financial and academic challenges, particularly those lacking access to personalized assistance.

Colleges interested in implementing MathGPT can apply for the Essentials Version, with onboarding for Fall 2024 on a first-come, first-served basis. Instructors, administrators, and department heads are required to submit details about their course type, content source, number of classrooms, and student demographics.

For those seeking additional features, the MathGPT Advanced option includes all elements of MathGPT Essentials, alongside personalized AI tutoring for every assignment and integrated Remedial Algebra course content. However, this advanced plan is priced at $25 per student, per course.
