Abstract

Automated academic advising, as an innovative student support tool, might encourage students’ mediation of their academic and advising support in a learning platform. In our pilot project, conducted in one school at a university in South Africa, we sought to understand the factors that enhanced cum-laude and suma-cum-laude trajectory students’ success. AutoScholar Advisor System was used to encourage the students’ performance. The preliminary results prompted our scaling up to involve whole programmes and all students in two schools of the university. In this paper, we share our reflections thus far and highlight some key insights.
