Study and Learn in Microsoft 365 Copilot: AI for active learning

EDITOR BRIEF
The excerpt says students are already using AI for school, often to summarize, brainstorm, and get unstuck. It argues that some AI tools give quick answers, while others are designed to guide learning, and introduces Study and Learn in Microsoft 365 Copilot as an agent meant to support active learning. It also notes that blocking AI does not stop students from using it elsewhere.
INSIGHTS
For learners and educators, the key question is not whether AI is used, but how it shapes studying. A practical next step is to choose tools that explain and guide, then test them on a small study task to see if they support understanding rather than just answers.
