Student advising technology

Advising Wisely with Technology

The use of technology in student advising has come a long way in the past few years. Advising offices can now connect with students on social media, use mobile apps for more immediate feedback, and track their progress in different courses using software. However, the use of technology does not mean that advisors are unable to provide personal attention. It is important to find the right balance between listening to your student’s needs and providing the support they need.

One way that advisors can use technology to provide personal attention is by utilizing chatbots. Chatbots are computers that mimic human conversation. They are designed to answer questions and help students with specific tasks. For example, a chatbot may be able to help a student find information on the internet, sign up for classes, or get advice on a test.

The most popular chatbot for advising is ChatEnabling. This chatbot is able to connect with students from all over the world andprovides support for over 50 different languages. It also offers features such as live chat, messaging, and voice recognition. ChatEnabling can be found at www.chatenabling.com/.

Another way advisors can provide personal attention is by providing offline assistance. This means that the advisor will meet with the student in person. Offline assistance is often times more beneficial because it allows the advisor to build a rapport with the student. It also allows advisors to ask more in-depth questions and get clarification on difficult topics.

There are a few online tools that advisors can use to provide offline assistance. One of these tools is Canvas. Canvas allows advisors to create a custom profile for each student and store all of the documents related to that student. Documents that can be stored on Canvas include transcripts, coursework, letters of recommendation, and more. Canvas can be found at www.canvas.com/.

It is important for advisors to find the tool that works best for them and their students. By using technology and offline assistance, advisors can provide the best possible advice for their students.
