A course relevance evaluator is provided with an on-line social network system. The course relevance evaluator generates a model for predicting importance of an electronic course for imparting a certain skill. The model takes, as input, features related to the content and metadata of a given electronic course together with previously-captured data that reflects how various members of the on-line social network historically interacted with the course. This methodology and the resulting relevance values generated for skill-course pairs can be used in the context of a job search or, e.g., in the process of identifying relevant electronic courses that could be recommended to a viewer of an electronic presentation.

A communication campaign manager can be configured to assist academic administrators to communicate effectively with students. The campaign manager can be configured to assess student risk for each of a plurality of individual students based on various factors, which may include demographic information, financial aid information, and academic information about the students. The campaign manager can assign students to different quadrant prioritizations based on their individual risk scores. The campaign manager also can assign a weighting to different forms of communication or communication channels, based on various risk factors. The campaign manager can use such information to generate a communication campaign for administrators to use in communicating with students, which can help to improve student engagement and academic success.

Tools are provided for collecting and distributing information from guidance counselors, parents, students, schools, and other third parties regarding the college search and application process. Data points are collected through interaction with computer applications and used to match schools and applicants, provide personalized tours, and predict conversion probabilities allowing colleges and students to tailor their application and admissions processes more narrowly than previously possible.

An admissions funnel process software application recommends a candidate to a school based on the admission cycle timeline of the school. The admission closing tool receives an admission schedule for a school that includes a set of admission goals for the school such as a desired number of students at each stage of an admission cycle. A candidate profile is compiled for each of a plurality of candidates. For each candidate, the admissions funnel process software application predicts a stage in the admission cycle that the candidate will be, at a future time. For each stage of an admission cycle, the candidates are aggregated by their predicted stages to obtain a predicted admissions cycle for the school. The aggregated number of candidates is compared to the desired number of candidates for that stage. Responsive to the comparing, one or more candidates are selected as leads, recommended and sent to the school.

A school admission prediction system and method are provided. The system includes a user interface for receiving personal data from an applicant, including academic and activity data. A data acquisition module connected to the user interface acquires this personal data. A data preprocessing module connected to the data acquisition module preprocesses the academic and activity data. An attribute selection module connected to the data preprocessing module extracts multiple attributes from the preprocessed data. A machine learning model generates an evaluation report based on the extracted attributes. This report includes a prediction of whether the applicant will be admitted to the school. The system also includes a loss calculation module for evaluating the performance of the machine learning model and optimizing its parameters based on the evaluation results. The method and system provide a reliable and efficient way to predict school admissions, helping applicants to better prepare their applications.

A secure education system including a secure education application, an education content database and a student profile database having a plurality of student profiles that include identification data that identifies a person associated with the student profile and evaluation data that valuates an academic proficiency of the person. The application both providing and dynamically adjusting the educational content based on an associated student profile of a user as well as securely determining the identity of the user in order to validate interactions of the user with the educational content. The verified identity and academic proficiency of a person can be compiled into an academic profile and submitted to academic institutions to support the user as a candidate for admissions.

A computer implemented method for administration of admission offers from educational institutions including receiving student information from students, generating a unique student identifier for each of the students, generating a universal student profile for each of the students on the database, the universal student profile including the unique student identifier, student identification information, and student qualification information for each of the students, identifying matching students from a plurality of universal student profiles stored on the database whose qualification information satisfies the entrance requirement information of any of the plurality of educational institution profiles stored on the database, generating on the database an anonymized version of the universal student profile of each of the matching students, and transmitting over the data network the anonymized version of the universal student profile of each of the matching students to educational institutions whose entrance requirements have been satisfied by the matching students.

A method includes storing information usable to host a platform for managing SCO responsibilities and storing a database of stored data including student information and SCO information. The method also includes accessing the platform using a user device and receiving input corresponding to an action, the action being related to the student information or the SCO information, and the input including any input information required for the platform to perform the action. The method also includes performing the action related to the responsibilities of the SCO and updating at least one of the student information or the SCO information in the stored data based on results of the action. The method also includes generating a log entry in response to performance of the action, storing the log entry in a list of logs, and outputting output data related to completion of the action.

Systems and techniques are disclosed that provide a comprehensive and integrated professional education and training platform, especially in the areas of tax, financial auditing and reporting, and planning and risk assessment. The systems and techniques allow an administrator to identify a subset of learning courses from a set of available learning courses for association with an educational product, and to assign individuals to each of the subset of learning courses.

An online marketplace for individuals applying to academic institutions, employers, internship and apprenticeship programs or to trade or vocation programs is provided. The marketplace is formed using an inventive platform and user devices that exchange information. The information exchanged is used to market the user's academic, life skills and experiences to institutions, employers and other entities that must, thereafter, compete with one another in order to convince the individual to accept admission to an institution or accept a position of employment.
