Anthropic launches Claude for Education with Learning Mode and university partnerships

Anthropic announced Claude for Education, a specialized offering for higher education institutions featuring a new 'Learning mode' that uses Socratic questioning to guide student reasoning rather than providing direct answers. The launch includes campus-wide access agreements with Northeastern University, London School of Economics, and Champlain College, covering 50,000+ students and staff. Anthropic is also joining Internet2, partnering with Instructure to embed Claude in Canvas LMS, and launching student ambassador and API credit programs. The initiative positions Anthropic as a major player in the edtech AI market while introducing a pedagogically-motivated model behavior mode.
