One of the most compelling reasons to consider a mobile-based chatbot that proactively sends reminders and nudges is how it can influence behavior change. For instance, a recent Georgia State University study showed an increase of as much as 66% in driving important student behaviors through the sending of encouraging reminders. 11,000 students of Georgia State University participated in the study and were sent information from a chatbot about available support services. Let’s review how chatbots can be used for education.
Notable results from the study include:
- 66% more students attended a Comeback Camp for academic support.
- 16% more likely for students to fill out their FAFSA by January 1.
- 4.6% more likely for students to register early for the spring semester and 14% more likely to register early for the Fall semester.
- 13-18% increase in attendance of academic advising sessions for at-risk students.
The study noted that the messages were designed to be personalized and actionable which is consistent with the experience we’ve seen here at Mobile Coach.
