EDUPULSE: A TECHNOLOGY-DRIVEN SYSTEM FOR EMPOWERING ACADEMIC ADVISING AND STUDENT PROGRESS MONITORING

Abstract

EduPulse is a technology-driven system designed to support academic advisors in efficiently tracking, managing, and monitoring student academic progress. In increasingly complex educational environments, academic advisors face significant challenges in handling large volumes of student data, which can hinder their ability to provide timely and accurate academic guidance. EduPulse serves as a comprehensive platform that delivers detailed insights into students' final examination results, performance in individual courses, and compliance with prerequisite requirements. Through this system, academic advisors can easily monitor student progress, evaluate course statuses, review grades, and identify students at risk of falling behind or missing critical courses required for graduation. Survey results from 57 respondents at Politeknik Kuching Sarawak revealed that 91% agreed EduPulse helps identify the status of students’ courses, 90% agreed it facilitates quick checking of course statuses, and 88% believed it effectively tracks each subject taken. These findings suggest high user satisfaction and affirm the system’s effectiveness in improving academic advising and course monitoring. In addition, EduPulse enhances advisor efficiency and productivity by reducing manual administrative workloads and minimizing the risk of human error. Its streamlined reporting capabilities ensure advisors have access to reliable, real-time data to make well-informed decisions and provide high-quality academic support. By leveraging technology to optimize advising processes, EduPulse contributes to improved operational efficiency within educational institutions and supports better learning outcomes for students. Overall, the system is a valuable tool in building a more responsive, data-informed, and student-centered academic environment that benefits both advisors and the students they guide.
