EdTechs can build Alexa skills that offer coaching prompts and strategies that help students be more independent and productive at home. If students are struggling with a math problem, Alexa can offer hints or questions like “What are you trying to figure out?” or “Can you write an equation?” to help students overcome hurdles. Students writing an essay can get reminders on how to craft a strong thesis or find help formatting footnotes. Alexa gives students effective at-home support so they are able to solve problems and complete assignments on their own.

With Alexa, students can listen to a lecture, review a study guide, or prep for an upcoming quiz in the car, at home, or on the go. Help students commuting to campus review significant historical figures of the American Civil War with a voice-based study guide.
