Higher Education: Digital solutions for the student lifecycle
Student expectations are rising and the learning landscape is changing. Higher education institutions need to be prepared.
DOWNLOADSupporting higher education’s digital evolution
Higher education institutions are having to adapt to rapid advancements in technology and modern digital platforms that are transforming the teaching and learning experience.
At the same time, student expectations are rising, and competition has never been so fierce.
Additional challenges are presented by factors such as Brexit, remote learning and possible cutbacks, mergers and closures in the wider higher education sector. And it may feel like there are constant pressures to achieve strategic goals like government compliance and ROI.
Fortunately, challenge brings opportunity. The chance to work better, together. Because at Avanade, we’re focused on helping you navigate, lead and manage the student relationship in a digital world.
“We now have a platform that will enable our vision to be the destination for any Australian wanting to study higher education online. We’re creating more personalised student experiences, and we can now be much smarter in how we drive and measure student engagement.”
The benefits of a connected education experience
A connected education experience allows institutions to maximise the use of data and insight, delivering hyper-personalised experiences that increase engagement and conversion. This allows institutions to stand out by giving individual prospective students the experience they are looking for. Avoid siloed working and replication of processes. And let staff access data and analytics to help them make informed decisions.
The result is joined up processes, personalised experiences and boosted engagement from the beginning of a student’s journey.
