Artificial intelligence (AI) has captured everyone’s imagination and attention on a global scale. Several institutions are testing educational AI and trying to scale the AI ladder. This new-age technology is being studied to understand its effectiveness in higher education teaching and learning. Using an AI-enabled platform, iSchoolConnect simplified the application processes for studying abroad, gave profile-based university and course recommendations, and helped students receive instant feedback on their mock interviews, SOPs, etc.
Here are some ways iSchoolConnect has revolutionized the foreign university application process by keeping AI at its core.
- Faster production time
The application process is a tiring and tedious process for schools as well as for students. With the massive volume of applications, complex requirements, and the necessity to make decisions within a short period, schools and colleges needed help from modern technologies to provide a solution to long-standing challenges.
After launching in 2017, iSchoolConnect worked with the aim to simplify the admission process and demystify the entire process through AI. The company uses Google Cloud to support users and engage students better. Hosting its entire production environment on Compute Engine and its database on Cloud SQL, iSchoolConnect saved time and costs by building its prototype in 18 months.
- Better scalability
After getting the platform up and running, iSchoolConnect developed a wishlist of capabilities to innovate the admission process and worked to increase adoption among admissions offices. During the period of 2018-2020, the company built a solid user base of students and schools by scaling from 10,000 users to millions of users and significantly reduced the strain of dealing with higher education applications.
The AI-driven platform offers institutional practices for universities to interact with the incoming applicants and help them guide their decisions. Acting as a prominent resource to save costs and time, AI technology offers a two-way feature by helping both institutions and students. It allows institutions to shortlist prospective students by getting all the information on a single platform. Besides, it also helps students to easily sort through universities and programs to find the ones that best suit their profile.
- Elevating partnership
Offering student support by developing assessment centers and chatbots, iSchoolConnect uses the Partner Advantage program to become a Google Cloud Build partner and contributes to expanding its platform using Google Cloud solutions. By promoting customer satisfaction through valuable feedback, the company has built a large user base through the belief and support of millions worldwide.
Continuing its commitment to learning, the company deploys millions of Chromebooks and builds student success platforms without concerns about costs. Using a thoroughly researched AI application to reduce human bias, iSchoolConnect provides fair information related to admissions and enrollment. Moreover, the company has successfully built a human-in-the-loop construct that ensures the presence of human experts in the conversation and creates a variety of meaningful jobs.
Final thoughts
Artificial Intelligence is the buzzword that provides swift, technological assistance to people in every industry today. AI-enabled platforms have truly transformed the higher education system, acting at the forefront of numerous possibilities and opportunities for improving higher education institutions.
