The main areas of AI use at the initial stage are:
- Analysis and development of higher education programs
- Monitoring the syllabi of program components: checking the compliance of syllabi with national and international standards.
- Labor market research: analyzing vacancies and comparing BTU programs with real labor market requirements,
- Best practices: analyzing best practices in the international educational space, comparing BTU programs with requirements in the international educational space.
- Detecting duplication in program components: identifying overlaps between the content of program components (courses, etc.).
- Stakeholder Attitude Analysis
- Survey Results Processing: AI analyzes feedback from program providers, graduates, students, and employers in seconds, grouping and summarizing stakeholder attitudes (positive, negative, neutral), frequently recurring problems and complaints, and analyzing them.
- Monitoring program completion rates and students’ academic achievements
- Program completion and component completion: Analysis of key trends in both program and component completion (decrease, increase, etc.), trends in deviations from the tolerances (e.g., excessively high or low scores), and risks and assessments related to possible reductions in program and component completion.
- Self-Evaluation process
- Documentation preparation: Generation of initial drafts of self-evaluation reports for both internal and external evaluations (authorization, accreditation).
- Deficiency identification: Verification of documents prepared for internal and external evaluations (relevance of information, sufficiency, etc.) and identification of deficiencies.
