Problem solved:

Higher education is an Institution in need of modernization. Even as technologies have advanced, our education system is still entrenched in outdated practices, hindering students' abilities to navigate their academic journeys efficiently. To remain relevant and, competitive, we need to embrace AI’s toolbox and other technologies to streamline processes from registration to graduation. The potential of LightLeapAI to personalize education, predict student success and provide actionable insights to educators could revolutionize student learning and administrative efficiency.

Students should be able to search and ask, How can I graduate faster, or What are my other major options? The only possible way is if the system is secure enough and private enough so that it knows who the student is and what their education curriculum has been. Then it can be compared to actual university data. It is simply a matter of connecting all the disparate systems to enable answers to our students’ academic questions.

What makes LightLeapAI unique?

LightLeapAI leverages artificial intelligence to provide personalized learning experiences, predict student success, automate routine administrative functions, eliminate admissions fraud, and offer actionable insights to educators and administrators.

LightLeapAI utilizes advanced algorithms to analyze educational data, enabling personalized student support and optimized institutional operations.

At its core, LightLeapAI employs machine learning and natural language processing to interpret and act on vast amounts of data. It integrates with existing Student Information Systems (SIS) and Learning Management Systems (LMS) to pull relevant information, which it then analyzes to identify patterns and predict outcomes. The platform adapts and improves its predictive capabilities over time through deep learning techniques, ensuring tailored interventions and streamlined processes.

Characteristics:

AI Search Bar Replaces the Website Search -- Without LightLeapAI, prospective students, current students, employees, and administrators must click through link after link to access relevant information from campus websites. LightLeap’s AI-driven search bar provides meaningful, relevant, and accurate information to all parties.

AI Chatbots Enable Student Services -- Without LightLeapAI, students still stand in line at different student services and administrative departments to get specific questions answered. Most administrative departments still interact with students through manual, form-driven operations where the staff member needs to access student information by accessing the administrative system to provide personalized information for that student. LightLeapIA offers a secure AI chatbot with access to the student information system and can be configured to access public and protected student information and provide data-driven answers.

Replaces Self Service Portals -- Most self-service portals are designed using legacy technologies and are based on data architecture principles of the early web application era. This structure and design make it difficult for institutions to design better self-service applications because vendors often own these portals and related applications. LightLeapAI offers a secure AI platform that connects campus student data with a course catalog can solve the problem of finding the right coursework for students.

Increase Student Success by Identifying Risk -- Over the last decade, institutions have spent a fortune on early alert, student advising, faculty training, and many other areas to support student retention and enable students to progress academically. However, most of these investments have had mixed results because of the siloed infrastructure, fragmented student data, and complex analytics of legacy information systems. First-year retention rates continue to be at or below 40 percent for many institutions and graduation rates continue to be at or below 35 percent on average across the nation.

LightLeapAI will predict possible student risks by evaluating data from disparate databases with a secure educational AI Large Language Model (LLM) and expose this to an institution’s secure AI tenant, the system can identify patterns related to learning struggles, emotional issues, substance abuse, and other factors that can negatively affect student success, and communicate this information with related parties securely (complying with FERPA).

Significantly reduce admissions fraud -- Financial aid fraud has resulted in substantial financial losses and administrative issues nationwide. LightLeapAI will help detect and mark potentially fraudulent applications as they are submitted. Its machine learning algorithms and analytics modules will analyze application patterns and flag suspicious activities. These include unusual application volumes from similar sources, vector analysis, mismatched geographical data, and patterns that match known fraudulent activities.
