Using AI to Strengthen Postsecondary Advising Video

November 2025 | One Goal

This 52-minute webinar from One Goal delves into how educators can use artificial intelligence (AI) as a complement to postsecondary advising and support students’ long-term academic success. Recognizing that many young adults currently use AI tools and social media to explore education and career ideas, the webinar recommends a hybrid-approach to integrating AI tools to human-led advising. Panelists discuss how AI tools might grant students greater access to information about postsecondary options and address process-related questions regarding financial aid and enrollment. Panelists also offer strategies for advisors to use AI to identify students’ challenges to better guide advising sessions. Moreover, the webinar expresses the importance of developing AI literacy and critical thinking skills so that AI tools do not replace either learning processes or human-centered relationships. For educators hesitant to use AI in their work, this webinar provides an introductory overview of AI use in postsecondary advising, shares effective practices for students and educators, and recognizes current shortfalls of AI use in advising.
