Pearson launched 'Go Deeper,' a new enhancement to its AI study tools designed to encourage deeper learning and critical thinking among college students. This feature was developed in response to research analyzing nearly 130,000 student queries to Pearson's AI-powered study tool embedded in Campbell Biology.

The research, published in 'Asking to Learn: What student queries to Generative AI reveal about cognitive engagement,' found that one-third of student inputs demonstrated higher-order thinking aligned with Bloom's Taxonomy. The 'Go Deeper' tool responds to student questions and then prompts them with follow-up questions one or two levels higher on the taxonomy.

Tony Prentice, Chief Product Officer and President, Direct to Consumer, Pearson, stated that this feature transforms simple queries into multi-step learning journeys, helping students strengthen critical thinking skills. This initiative is part of Pearson's broader efforts to expand its AI applications, backed by learning science and subject matter experts.
