Zhejiang students to benefit from new learning tools

Xiaoyuansouti, a subsidiary of online education startup Yuanfudao, has announced it will donate its test question search tools to schools in Yongkang in eastern Zhejiang province, as part of its broader efforts to use technology to advance local education.

The first five machines will be set up at Zhejiang Yongkang Second High School. The rest will be available for students from over 20 primary, middle and high schools in Yongkang.

Students can use the machines to scan questions from their test papers to learn how to work out the answers. Within seconds, the artificial intelligence-powered machine can offer answers and analysis, as well as video explanations for frequently asked questions.
