Education workflows
Explore example workflows for student enquiries, admissions documents and student services. Each example shows where AI can assist and where staff remain responsible.
Start with recurring course or enrolment questions and an approved knowledge source. A useful response answers the question or passes it to the right staff member when the source does not cover it.
Start with an application and its supporting files. Prepare extracted information, missing-document flags and a summary for an admissions officer. Staff review the evidence and make the admissions decision.
Start with an incoming request and agreed routing rules. Create a task with the relevant context, send it to the responsible team and keep the student informed. Staff handle ambiguous or sensitive requests.
The aim is not to remove people from the process. It is to remove avoidable handling so staff can focus on complex cases and student outcomes.
Record a baseline before the pilot, then compare the same kind of work during testing. Assess quality and exceptions alongside time saved. These are suggested measures for a pilot, not claims about results achieved by RaySolutions clients.
| Workflow | Measure the handling | Check the quality |
|---|---|---|
| Student enquiries | Staff handling time and time to a useful response | Answers supported by approved information; correct escalation of unanswered questions |
| Admissions documents | Time to prepare an application for staff review; follow-up effort | Extraction errors, missed documents and corrections requested by reviewers |
| Student requests | Time to reach the responsible team; number of handovers | Incorrect routing, duplicate tasks and requests returned for more information |
Include incomplete documents, questions outside the approved knowledge and requests that do not fit the usual categories. Agree with staff what a successful pilot must demonstrate before connecting it to a wider process.
