March 12, 2025 – VictoryXR, a provider of immersive education solutions, has recently announced that Kendall Hunt Publishing, a U.S. textbook publisher, will integrate personalized AI tutors onto textbook pages using newly released technology from VictoryXR.
“AI is changing the way students learn and we are starting with personalized tutors embedded onto the pages of textbooks,” said Chad Chandlee, president of Kendall Hunt.
VictoryXR stated that the conversational AI tutors will help students learn in three key ways: explaining a passage, summarizing a page, and reading a passage in the language of their choice.
Commenting on the value of the new technology, VictoryXR CEO Steve Grubbs, said: “Very few students understand everything they read in a textbook, but with a 24/7 conversational AI tutor, everything changes.”
Students will be able to interact with the conversational AI tutors either through a standard two-way conversation or by highlighting text and asking for help. The AI education tool has also been designed to help students who are not proficient in English receive instruction in their native language, according to VictoryXR.
“Whether a student speaks Hindi, Mandarin, Spanish or even Romanian, the AI tutor natively speaks and teaches in each language,” added Grubbs. “This is transformative for students who are learning English in American schools, but may not be proficient yet. In minutes, they can have a translator embedded into their textbook.”
The VictoryXR AI textbook tutor also gives publishers the option to embed enriched 3D spatial learning onto the pages. This can include simulated two-way conversations with Albert Einstein, or even a therapist for a class in counseling and psychology.
VictoryXR noted that Kendall Hunt is expected to roll out the AI assistant this fall in select textbooks with key professors.
