US 8,556,631 B2 · Systems and methods for assisting an educational institution in rating a constituent

Abstract

A higher education constituent relationship (CRM) system may provide an educational institution with a graphical display of a probability and desirability value for a person at a stage of a student life cycle. For example, the higher education CRM system may receive a history of interactions between the person and the institution. The higher education CRM system may use the history of interactions and information about the person to calculate the probability value, or measure of the likelihood that the person moves to another stage in the student life cycle, and the desirability value, or a measure of the appeal of the person to the educational institution at a stage of the student life cycle, for the person. The higher education CRM system may display the calculated values for the probability and desirability to a representative of the institution.

Claims24

Dependent claims

A computer-implemented method for assisting an educational institution in rating a person in connection with one or more stages of a student life cycle, the method comprising:

receiving, by a processor of a computer system, a history of interactions between the person and the educational institution;
calculating, by the processor, based in part on the history of interactions and information about the person, a probability value representing a measure of the likelihood that the person moves to a subsequent stage in the one or more stages of the student life cycle;
calculating, by the processor, based in part on the history of interactions and information about the person, a desirability value representing a measure of the appeal of the person to the educational institution at the one or more stages of the student life cycle;
and
graphically displaying on an electronic device the probability value and the desirability value as a point on a graph.

2 more elements

A computer-readable storage medium, wherein the storage medium is not a signal, having computer-readable instructions for assisting an educational institution in rating a person in connection with one or more stages of a student life cycle, the computer-readable instructions comprising instructions for:

receiving a history of interactions between the person and the educational institution;
calculating, based in part on the history of interactions and information about the person, a probability value representing a measure of the likelihood that the person moves to a subsequent stage in the one or more stages of the student life cycle;
calculating, based in part on the history of interactions and information about the person, a desirability value representing a measure of the appeal of the person to the educational institution at the one or more stages of the student life cycle;
and
graphically displaying the probability value and the desirability value as a point on a graph.

2 more elements

A system for assisting an educational institution in rating a person in connection with one or more stages of a student life cycle, the system comprising:

at least one storage area for program code;
a processor for executing the program code, wherein the program code directs the system to perform the functions comprising:
receiving a history of interactions between the person and the educational institution;
calculating, based in part on the history of interactions and information about the person, a probability value representing a measure of the likelihood that the person moves to a subsequent stage in the one or more stages of the student life cycle;
calculating, based in part on the history of interactions and information about the person, a desirability value representing a measure of the appeal of the person to the educational institution at the one or more stages of the student life cycle;
and
graphically displaying the probability value and the desirability value as a point on a graph.
