Innovative Artificial intelligence to boost student engagement and wellbeing at Coventry University

Coventry University is already reaching out to students who appear to be less engaged in their courses - utilising students' use of campus facilities and their digital footprint as a measure of engagement. The groundbreaking AI software, which Coventry University has co-developed from the ground up with AI firm Symanto, is designed to interpret student behaviour more accurately, enabling the university's Student Engagement Centre to step in and offer support more effectively and earlier than ever before. The technology analyses metrics such as attendance, library usage, grades and online learning activity, painting a picture of how well-engaged students are with their courses, studies and the university as a whole. It can also predict trajectories of student engagement and has the potential to continue evolving. Should students' habits or behaviours show worrying trends or sudden, dramatic changes, the university will then be alerted, before offering timely support to those who appear to need it.
