by Sirley Carballo · Updated Sep 13, 2024

As part of the release of our new resource, The Definitive Guide to AI in Higher Education, we’re walking you through each part of the guide and breaking down what you can expect to learn from each section.

In Part 2, AI in Higher Education, we're diving into the challenges and opportunities facing higher education and how AI fits into the mix.

With the enrollment cliff here and the chaos caused by the pandemic, colleges and universities are in a tight spot. Students are rethinking the value of a college education, and the digital revolution has raised expectations for seamless, personalized experiences.

However, the good news is that AI is the answer to many of these challenges. While it's not a one-size-fits-all solution, when implemented correctly, it can be a game-changer.

Students’ Changing Needs and Expectations

62% of people aged 18-24 weren’t enrolled in college as of 2021. So, what can we do about it? In this section, we discuss how AI can help higher education institutions meet the evolving needs of students, from first-generation learners to those questioning the value of a traditional degree. 

It's all about providing personalized and instant experiences, just like what they expect from their favorite brands. AI can make this level of engagement and student success possible.

Running an AI-Infused Institution

We'll explore how AI can help institutions become more efficient and staff-friendly. 

For example, AI can:

  1. Gather data from across departments into one place
  2. Pull useful insights from that data 
  3. Have those insights trigger communications and other activities that help students in real-time

By integrating AI into daily operations, staff can focus on meaningful tasks, making the school more effective at enrollment and retention. It's a win-win situation.

Measurement

With evolving definitions and new challenges, it's crucial to track the right indicators. We'll look at how AI can help schools measure and redefine success. 

AI can assist in identifying trends, performance, and potential risks, ultimately enhancing student and staff outcomes.
