FlightPath and AI: Streamlining Student Success
It seems like "AI" is everywhere these days, especially as companies scramble to make their products stand out from the pack. Though it may just be marketing jargon for others, here at FlightPath Academics we utilize proprietary AI algorithms not found anywhere else, to ensure accurate advising and student success.
Read on to see how FlightPath's intelligent features are custom-designed for Higher Education, and deliver focused results that transform the advising experience.
What Do We Mean by "AI"?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the use of advanced computational techniques to analyze data, identify patterns, and make predictions or recommendations. In FlightPath, AI is not about mimicking human conversation or behavior (which is why we do not make use of LLM-style AI, like ChatGPT and others). Instead, FlightPath leverages sophisticated algorithms to process large volumes of academic data efficiently. This includes predictive analytics, student at-risk analysis, and simulation tools that empower advisors and students to make the best decisions in their academic journey.
While large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT are excellent at generating conversational responses, FlightPath instead prioritizes precision, reliability, and analytical data. Its purpose-built algorithms are uniquely suited to addressing the specific challenges of academic advising, and ensuring focused and effective solutions.
Early Alerts for Student Retention
FlightPath’s early alert system uses predictive algorithms to identify students at risk of academic challenges. Whether it’s a drop in GPA, missed assignments, or poor attendance, advisors receive real-time notifications. This enables timely interventions, such as connecting students with tutoring services, academic coaching, or financial aid resources, ultimately improving retention rates.
Analytics That Drive Student Success
FlightPath’s AI-powered analytics provide advisors with actionable insights into students’ academic progress, risks, and opportunities. By analyzing data such as grades, course history, and enrollment trends, FlightPath identifies patterns and potential red flags. This empowers advisors to take proactive measures, ensuring students receive the support they need to succeed academically.
Simulating Changing Majors, Minors, Concentrations, and More
Among its many, many features is FlightPath's "What If?" feature, which helps students and advisors navigate academic decisions by simulating changes in majors & concentrations. Advisors can use the platform to model how such changes would affect a student’s academic trajectory, including credit requirements, course availability, and time-to-graduation. This functionality enables students to make informed decisions, reducing uncertainty and ensuring smoother academic transitions.
