Written by iSAMS | Sep 23, 2024 9:00:00 AM

The release of ChatGPT in November 2022 has skyrocketed the utilisation of AI technologies in industries across the globe. Its potential for automation and the ability to improve efficiency across processes has made it a must-have in the technology space. This same trajectory is evident in education.  

In 2022, the AI in education market was worth $2.5 billion, and is expected to reach $88.2 billion by 2032 with an annual growth rate of 43%. More and more schools are looking for ways to implement AI not just in the classroom, but within their daily software and departmental processes.  

Research suggests that generative AI has the potential to automate over 50% of tasks for those in the education industry. The reduction of some of the most time-consuming tasks can help your teams to better prioritise their time and work more efficiently – one of these key areas being data analytics. 

The power of AI in education 

As mentioned, AI has already taken a firm place in the technology stack of the education industry – and utilisation is only continuing to grow. Some of the first implementations have been seen in classrooms, as the expectations of learners change.  

The technology is already shaping the way that teachers carry out their lessons, including building lesson plans, learning materials, and providing revision guides. Learners expect AI to have a place in their future, and it’s important that schools provide them with the skills they’ll need in the future. Not only that, but teacher time management is key, and AI has provided them with the automation to ease their workload. 

Similarly, the latest AI advancements have enabled a variety of school departments to implement automation in place of some of the more time intensive tasks. However, this does rely on the schools chosen tech stack and their suppliers. For SLT, generative AI has empowered them to work through documents faster and build comprehensive plans ahead of key meetings.  

While there is still a considerable amount of concern about the implementation of AI in schools, consider understanding its potential and finding ways to work with the technology to benefit your staff and your school’s growth plans.  

For example, the combination of powerful analytics technology and the latest AI could be the solution your data management and IT teams need to generate insights that truly drive your school forward. 

Harness school data 

Your school handles considerable amounts of data on a daily basis. Whether using your school management system or additional systems, a range of staff utilise your extensive data stores to complete the roles. This data is extremely valuable for your data management and senior leadership teams. However, many schools are yet to fully realise this potential.  

Manual data analysis is time-consuming, results in out-of-date insights, and it’s challenging to know that you’re making the most out of every relevant data point.  

The right technology can support your IT teams in building effective analytics processes that make the most out of your databases. 

Data drives your analytics and thereby your decision-making, so it’s vital to harness all available data points. Managing Big Data is impossible for one person working manually, technology like Power BI is vital to true business growth. Choosing the right technology will give you full confidence that you’re putting all of your available MIS data to use.  

Powerful insights 

School analytics software is the key to powering your insights, and thereby your school’s growth. Harnessing your data and then putting it to work to generate forecasts and insights ensures that all decision-making can be backed by the most up-to-date data within your systems.  

One key benefit of insights like these is that they are continually updated. This empowers your teams to benchmark performance against previous data and make changes accordingly. You can alter your approach to your growth plans in real time, rather than waiting for a manual update.  

Are your decisions having the impact that you expected? Education analytics software, like Central, ensures that you can always stay on top of your growth progress and make informed decisions. 

User-friendly reporting 

While BI tools are a powerful addition to your tech stack, the latest AI technology can take its potential one step further. Take the extra legwork out of BI report generation with natural language AI. Empower your teams to build the reports they need to showcase your school’s performance, in a user-friendly format.  

AI technology makes performance report generation more intuitive. With the latest technology, your IT teams can simply request a report to display the information they’re looking for, rather than manually searching for data sets.  

For example, iSAMS Central will use inbuilt AI technology to build dedicated reports within the Central dashboards, enabling users to showcase the most relevant information. Ultimately, this makes your data stores more palatable for senior leaders and those making key decisions for your school. 

Cut through the noise and find the data insights that you need with Education AI analytics software. AI empowers you to make smarter decisions for your school’s growth.
