Unleashing GPT-4o: How AI is Reshaping Student Support

GPT and AI have facilitated education technologies by providing students and teachers with new and better ways to research, use interactive tools to understand concepts and strongly articulate ideas. The Generative Pre-trained Transformer 4 (GPT-4) language model is the most advanced language model developed and released by OpenAI. It has more data and more parameters to access data from academic and reliable sources. The GPT-4o has been upgraded to give reliable information and present it in better sentence structure and syntax. Its tools can generate output up to 25000 words and read input up to 25000 words, making it ideal for long texts. 

Workings of the GPT-4o

The GPT-4o bridges the shortcomings of its predecessor, the GPT-4 Turbo while maintaining the powerful language models and expanding on GPT’s traditional functionality to comprehend and generate content with text, speech and video. The ‘o’ in GPT_4o stands for ‘omni’, highlighting its capacity to operate seamlessly across multiple modalities. With this, the platform offers integrative solutions for complex interaction and communication scenarios. Its robust architecture processes information at twice the speed of the previous models and half the cost. This makes it accessible to a wider range of users including individual students, educators, and institutions. 

Better flexibility and reliability

AI tools such as GPT analyse visual content and respond to spoken questions and text inputs and in the process they offer learning flexibility. It facilitates different learning styles and engagement models in the classroom, thus enhancing the overall learning experience. Teachers can access interactive tools to make their lessons more engaging, and students can use the same tools to get better conceptual clarity and understand the relevance of the theories of concepts in real life. The GPT-4o scours the internet to access both academic and accepted non-academic sources and makes parsing information easier. Students can apply themselves to understand the data and use different tools to make visual representations of graphs, charts, and collages for presentations or reports. 

How GPT-4o supports student education

To match the progress of technology, education methodologies are shifting to integrate technologies in the classroom. Here are a few ways in which CGPT-4o is reshaping student learning - 

  • Dynamic content that adapts to evolving student needs - teachers can design lessons as per the learning styles and needs of the students and uplift the curriculum.
  • Versatile content - the content can be created as per the activities for physical and online classes.
  • Assistants for interactive learning - with GPT-4o complex concepts can be broken down into simple parts using simulations. For instance, marketing concepts in the Commerce stream or physics theories can be explained through engaging students in projects to create marketing models or applying physics concepts to study complex problems. 
  • Multilingual support - for students who have moved to an English medium programme in PUC from an vernacular medium in school, GPT-4o offers multilingual support that can be used to understand concepts in a language one is comfortable with. It can also be used to create error-free documents in English through accurate translation. 
  • Chatbots that understand inputs - the GPT-4o chatbots are smarter and grasp instructions better and faster in multi-channels. 

Challenges in adopting Chat-4o

The technology gap between institutions and innovation will be the greatest challenge in Chat-4o becoming widespread. Students from non-technical backgrounds will have to be eased into the system to take advantage of it. Furthermore, teachers also must take the initiative to learn the technology so they can aid the students in its adoption. Students must also be guided in the ethics of using AI-powered tools, especially educating them on emerging paradigms of academic writing, plagiarism and ethical research.

The onus for ensuring that students learn to use Chat-4o responsibly and take complete advantage of the platform lies with the institution, that is the college, university and the education system. Students cannot be educated in isolation by omitting the use of technology because either they will use it through self-discovery or they will be left behind and not have the relevant skills for the job market. With adequate support, Chat-4o is a powerful tool for teachers and students.
