Diseñar Microsoft 365 Copilot para capacitar a los educadores, estudiantes y personal
Por: Deirdre Quarnstrom, vicepresidenta de Educación.
Los educadores dan forma al plan de estudios, abogan por los estudiantes, innovan en primera línea y más, todo al mismo tiempo. Los estudiantes se enfrentan a su propio acto de equilibrio cuando se les pide que absorban conocimientos, generen confianza y encuentren su voz, y se preparen para un futuro en constante evolución. Y, a menudo, entre bastidores, el personal y los líderes trabajan para alinear los sistemas, responder a las demandas cambiantes y trazar el camino a seguir para que todos prosperen.
Si bien más del 80% de los encuestados en el Informe sobre la IA en la Educación 2025 ya han utilizado la IA para la escuela, creemos que existen oportunidades significativas para diseñar IA que pueda satisfacer mejor cada una de sus necesidades y ampliar el acceso a la más reciente innovación.1
Es por eso que hoy anunciamos experiencias impulsadas por IA creadas para la enseñanza y el aprendizaje sin costo adicional, nuevas integraciones en aplicaciones de Microsoft 365 y sistemas de administración de aprendizaje, y una oferta académica para Microsoft 365 Copilot.
Presentamos la enseñanza y el aprendizaje impulsados por IA
Empoderar a los educadores con Teach
Presentamos Teach para ayudar a optimizar la preparación de clases y adaptar la IA para respaldar la experiencia docente de los educadores con funciones intuitivas y personalizables. En un solo lugar, los educadores pueden acceder con facilidad a herramientas de enseñanza impulsadas por IA para crear planes de lecciones, redactar materiales como cuestionarios y rúbricas, y realizar con rapidez modificaciones en el lenguaje, el nivel de lectura, la longitud, la dificultad, la alineación con los estándares relevantes y más.
Teach se ha comenzado a implementar en la aplicación Microsoft 365 Copilot a partir de hoy sin costo adicional para los clientes de educación con más funcionalidades, incluida la integración del sistema de administración de aprendizaje (LMS, por sus siglas en inglés), más adelante. Muchas de estas características también están disponibles en el flujo diario de educadores que usan aplicaciones como Microsoft Teams y OneNote.
Apoyar a los estudiantes con Study and Learn Agent
Al crear experiencias de IA basadas en el aprendizaje de la ciencia, podemos apoyar de manera más efectiva el proceso de aprendizaje de los estudiantes y cambiar el enfoque en el uso de la IA para la generación rápida de contenido para fomentar el crecimiento de las habilidades con el tiempo. Llevamos Study and Learn, un agente avanzado, a los estudiantes para brindar experiencias adaptativas y ayudar a fomentar el pensamiento crítico y reflexivo. Pueden optar por trabajar en su comprensión, practicar con ejercicios, estudiar un tema específico o tan solo chatear y seleccionar entre actividades integradas atractivas como tarjetas didácticas, emparejamiento, completar espacios en blanco o cuestionarios a medida que avanzan. Study and Learn llegará en versión preliminar en noviembre de 2025 y estará disponible sin costo adicional.

Nos complace presentar una oferta académica para Microsoft 365 Copilot en educación a $18 (USD) por usuario por mes para educadores, personal y estudiantes mayores de 13 años a partir de diciembre de 2025.2 Integrado a profundidad en las aplicaciones que se usan todos los días, Microsoft 365 Copilot combina el poder de la IA con sus datos (documentos, presentaciones, correos electrónicos, reuniones, chats, conocimiento institucional y más), además de la web para ofrecer respuestas relevantes con fuentes. También ofrece capacidades de vanguardia como el acceso integral de los agentes, incluidos Researcher y Analyst, el Copilot Tuning para una mayor personalización y el Copilot Control System para proteger los datos institucionales.
Microsoft 365 Copilot ha ayudado a ahorrar mucho tiempo a nuestros educadores y personal, permitiéndoles centrarse en la razón por la que llegaron a la educación: apoyar el aprendizaje de los estudiantes y personalizar la educación de formas que antes no eran posibles.
Leigh Williams, CIO, Educación Católica de Brisbane
En Brisbane Catholic Education, los educadores participantes ahorraron más de 9 horas por semana en tareas administrativas y de planificación, lo que permitió más tiempo para mejorar las experiencias y el bienestar de los estudiantes. El ochenta y cuatro por ciento de los usuarios, incluidos los estudiantes, de la Universidad de Carolina del Sur informaron que ahorraban entre una y cinco horas por semana, y 8 de cada 10 usuarios informaron estar satisfechos con Copilot. Los profesores informaron ahorros de tiempo y una mejor calidad en la producción académica, lo que permitió un mayor enfoque en la investigación y la tutoría de mayor valor. Mientras tanto, los administradores informaron de una reducción del tiempo de preparación de las reuniones y de una mejor toma de decisiones gracias a una síntesis de datos más rápida, y los equipos de comunicación aumentaron su producción creativa sin sacrificar la calidad.
Transformar las experiencias educativas con los agentes
Las instituciones profundizan el uso de la IA para avanzar en su misión y preparar a los estudiantes para el futuro, al mismo tiempo que comienzan a demostrar el potencial de los agentes para transformar las experiencias en la enseñanza, el aprendizaje, la investigación y las operaciones. Ya sea que busquen usar soluciones prediseñadas, construir con rapidez las suyas propias o desarrollar sistemas avanzados, hemos facilitado llevar el poder de la IA generativa un paso más allá con los agentes. Tan solo usen el lenguaje natural para crear instrucciones y seleccionen contenido relevante para comenzar a transformar experiencias y procesos con agentes personalizados.
La Universidad del Sur de Florida impulsa un enfoque integral en todo el espectro de agentes. El equipo de TI ha creado agentes para mejorar las experiencias del campus y el soporte para temas como la política de viajes, la mesa de ayuda de TI o eventos como la graduación de estudiantes. Han trabajado con la biblioteca, el atletismo y se han asociado con la Facultad de Medicina para crear soluciones personalizadas que incluyen un sistema de acreditación avanzado y manuales interactivos para estudiantes.
Los Estudiantes Embajadores crearon agentes para varios departamentos, lo que resultó en una disminución del tiempo de informes manuales, un análisis de inventario acelerado y mejores flujos de trabajo de creación de contenido. Sus usuarios de Microsoft 365 Copilot también han comenzado a ver ganancias de eficiencia con Researcher and Analyst para respaldar tareas como el desarrollo de informes anuales, adquisiciones, evaluación de facturación y revisiones de presupuestos. Luego, han probado el uso de agentes autónomos para impulsar la automatización de procesos de TI y un centro de contacto impulsado por agentes.
En las Escuelas Públicas del Condado de Broward, los líderes académicos han comenzado a crear agentes innovadores, como un motor de cuestionarios interactivo para mejorar la participación de los estudiantes, un analizador de currículum y descripción de trabajo para apoyar las iniciativas de preparación profesional. También han comenzado a explorar casos de uso de agentes como planificación de desarrollo profesional, asistencia de reclutamiento, redacción de boletines e informes, y más.

Amazon Elastic Container Services (Amazon ECS) now allows you to run Firelens containers as a non-root user, by specifying a User ID in your Task Definition.
Specifying a non-root user with a specific user ID reduces the potential attack footprint by users who may gain access to such software, a security best practice and a compliance requirement by some industries and security services such as the AWS Security Hub. With this release, Amazon ECS allows you to specify a user ID in the «user» field of your Firelens containerDefinition element of your Task Definition, instead of only allowing «user»: «0» (root user).
The new capability is supported in all AWS Regions. See the documentation for using Firelens for more details on how to set up your Firelens container to run as non-root.
