AI and automation is being adopted by higher ed professionals worldwide. It can be used to help with application processing and sifting, automated communications, and also for creating student marketing content.
In a recent Keystone webinar, 'the Student Recruitment Survival Guide', our panel of higher ed experts discussed how AI had been helping them to do more with less.
Brian Piper, from University of Rochester, said:
"We’re trying to integrate AI into as much of our content creation process as we can. The capabilities for research, brainstorming and ideating are incredible. As well as organizing content... [you can use AI to] look for content gaps, create user personas, repurpose your content - there’s so many ways you can use these different tools."
