In today's world, education goes beyond the walls of traditional classrooms. You need to be able to reach and educate your students over the channels that your students use the most. Noting that your students open WhatsApp 23 times daily and spend an average of 28 minutes on it every day, a WhatsApp chatbot would be a powerful tool for your educational institute.
How can WhatsApp chatbots be used for educational institutions?
Here are some use cases for WhatsApp chatbots in the education industry:
1. Driving admissions and enrollments
You can use your WhatsApp chatbot as a lead generation tool for your educational institute or eLearning platform. It gives you access to prospects on the messaging app they use the most and enables you to answer all their admissions and course-related questions right there without any delays, thus streamlining the enrollment process.
2. Onboarding new students
New beginnings are always confusing and riddled with anxiety. Students find themselves wondering how things are going to be and how their lives are going to change in their new universities or educational institutes. As an educator, you need to use your WhatsApp chatbot to introduce your students to the new place, make them familiar with the facilities available, their teachers, mentors, and let them know what clubs and committees they can join, as well as the activities that they can participate in.
3. Using it as a Learning Management System (LMS)
You can go beyond traditional classrooms by using your AI WhatsApp chatbot as an eLearning platform in the form of a learning management system (LMS). These education bots can be used to answer students' questions, clarify their doubts, and could even be used to teach your students. You could use them to deliver lessons to learners in a conversational format.
This makes learning fun and interactive. It even gets students invested in the learning process, rather than letting them zone out and spend an hour in their own mental wonderland while pretending to listen to a professor deliver a lecture.
Since these bots are driven by artificial intelligence, they can even act as mentors for your students, especially during exam season. Picture this - your students are spending the night cramming for an exam and then…. boom, they run into a concept that they just cannot wrap their heads around. You've been there too, and your choices were pretty much limited to asking your peers for help (a typical 'blind leading the blind' situation), waiting for the morning to ask your instructor about it before the exam, or just skipping the concept, and hoping that your exam did not involve a question about that concept.
When you use your WhatsApp chatbot as a learning management system, your students get a more effective way to tackle that situation - all they need to do is drop a message on the WhatsApp bot and it will explain the concept whether it's 11 pm or 5 am.
4. Sharing resources
Your WhatsApp chatbot is definitely an effective way for you to share course materials with your students, but that's not all that you can do with it. Education shouldn't be limited to textbooks, and you can't prepare people for the real world if your lessons stay within the confines of the course material.
As an instructor, you should share additional resources with your students that can supplement their coursework. Your bot can act as an eLearning platform here, sharing additional resources in the form of rich media or even links.
5. Communications with parents
Sometimes parents just aren't in the loop and have no idea about what their kids are doing at school. Education chatbots are a great way for you to keep them informed and not leave them in a state of confusion. Whether it's about exam results being released, or their children falling short of their attendance threshold, your education chatbot can keep the parents updated, which would be beneficial for teachers as well as students.
6. Broadcasting notifications
Your Engati WhatsApp chatbot can even be used to send out notifications and announcements by making use of WhatsApp message templates that you could create right over the Engati platform itself.

* Zarrar bin Azur was such a person that during that period the enemies trembled at his name and hesitated to come in his way. When there was a war, all the enemies and armies used to fight the war wearing armor and war clothes. But Hazrat Zarrar used to take off his kurta beside his armour. When he came down to the field with long hair and a shining body, dust was seen behind him and corpses in front of him. They used to fight with such speed, speed and bravery that the ranks of the enemy were torn apart. For his bravery, Hazrat Khalid bin Waleed RA was forced to praise and reward him numerous times. Among the enemies, he was known as the naked body. The war of Ajnadin was going on with the army of millions of Romans. Hazrat Zarrar entered the field as usual and broke ranks like a storm against the enemy army. He fought so fast and bravely that he broke through the ranks of the enemy army and broke away from the Muslim army and reached the middle of the enemy army. When the enemy saw them in their midst, they captured them with great difficulty. The news also reached the Muslims that Hazrat Zarar was captured. Hazrat Khalid bin Waleed prepared a squad of brave young men of his army He started giving instructions etc. to free Hazrat Zarrar. Meanwhile, they saw a masked rider flying around to attack the enemy army. This rider attacked with such ferocity and fury that the enemy was forced to retreat in front of him. Hazrat Khalid, upon seeing his bravery and bravery, woke up and asked his companions, "Who is this rider?" But everyone showed ignorance that they don't know. Hazrat Khalid asked the young men to help this rider and he himself rushed towards him to help him.
