What is Student Success Hub?
Student Success Hub is a managed package built on proprietary Education Data Architecture (EDA) by Salesforce. It brings together the latest innovations from Salesforce for Education to your institution to support students, track progress, intervene proactively, and measure results. It empowers educational institutions to deliver holistic support to students by connecting them with the assistance they need to succeed.
Student Success hub delivers 360 degree support to understand the student completely. It empowers student support staff across the campus to engage with their students at scale in a deeply personalised way and augments retention. Student support staff such as counsellors, advisors and coordinators can view students who need their attention in real time. Data insights and predictive analytics help them to prepare for upcoming appointments. With Student Success Hub, faculty members and student support staff can access complete student information in one place where they can take notes and assign success plans which are essentially series of tasks for students to complete. Using the flexible scheduling feature of the mobile portal, students can book appointments from anywhere. They can view availability of staff in real time based on selected topic and location. With the student success chatbot, students get reminders on incomplete or pending tasks. And they can view upcoming tasks in their progress tracker. If students require additional assistance, with live chat, they can communicate with advisors and staff from any device. Faculty members can collaborate with advisors and staff by raising alerts on at risk students. With Slack, faculty members can raise alerts using a user friendly app that is integrated directly into student success hub. With the easy to navigate interface, faculty can access student success alerts effortlessly inside Slack. Faculty member courses are populated automatically from Salesforce. They can filter students based on selected criteria, select the reason and provide comments. Alerts are auto-assigned to the relevant student advisor. Advisors can then update the status of the alert based on action taken. Inside Slack, the relevant faculty member, who originated the alert, sees a notification of the status change. And business leaders and management can track success metrics with the help of pre-built Tableau dashboards. Entire student success teams get access to trends, behaviours and most effective modes of intervention, to boost retention and on-time graduation.
