Communication, information and service challenges exist for all parties with the campus and higher educational journey

“In the beginning of the semester there is so much chaos. Many students don’t know what to do next. Usually after you apply you’re on your own!” Freshman Student

“My passion is in helping students to succeed and to grow, we face a tsunami of support and advising requests, some of which require information and others which require meeting in person.” Advisor

Barriers To Student Success

Higher education is a daunting new beginning, students can face a number of challenges in navigating their new world.

 

Campus websites can lead to more questions than answers

 

Students do not take advantage of on-campus services, in some cases this is due to worries about being labelled by peers

Keeping information current is challenging

 

Interaction is required 24x7 but office hours are generally 9-to-5

College terminology can be difficult to interpret & first generation students are least equipped to understand the jargon

 

Students may not know who to ask for help and they prefer to ask “a machine” that will not judge them

Answers come from across campus, resulting in countless transfers between departments

 

Students often won’t ask follow up questions as they don’t want to say that they don’t understand

New Demographics – Instant response, Chatbots, Social & Livechat

Studies show that Gen Z are happy to ask a “machine” hundreds of questions with no embarrassment. 74 percent of Gen Z admit that communicating in person or by phone doesn’t come naturally to them. Gen Z users have proven to be early adopters of the faster, simpler, and more engaging messaging communication channels offered by conversational bots.
