A tutorial video on how to use the new Study & Learn agent in Copilot. This agent is designed to help students actually learn - not simply hand them the answer. Built with Learning Science, Study & Learn guides students through concepts step-by-step, asks questions along the way, explains difficult topics, and provides interactive learning activities that adapt to what each student needs.
The Study & Learn agent is available for students and educators with Microsoft 365, making these learning experiences accessible directly through Copilot.

💡 Creating a Space Where Future Skills Can Thrive
When learning environments are designed with purpose, they become so much more than classrooms. They become places where creativity, collaboration and innovation come to life.
Working with St Malachy's College, we delivered a future-ready learning space that gives students access to the latest digital technologies while creating new opportunities for collaboration, creativity and skills development. The hub also supports schools across the North Belfast Area Learning Community, extending its impact far beyond a single classroom.
From the initial concept and design through to installation, training and ongoing support, this project demonstrates how the right learning space can inspire the next generation with the skills they'll need for the future.

Ever notice AI can write you a full essay but get "how many R's in strawberry" wrong? 🍓
Tokens are why. AI doesn't read letter by letter. It breaks your text into chunks called tokens and works with those instead.
Small idea, but it explains a lot of what AI gets right, and what it gets weirdly wrong.
