AI Bridges Systems and Saves Time

At University Connected Learning, artificial intelligence is helping overcome one of the most persistent challenges in higher education: systems that don’t communicate well with each other. Taber Tang, Program Coordinator, shared how AI has streamlined intersystem communication, turning a time-consuming process into a quick and efficient task.
 
Previously, the team spent two to three full days manually submitting Outlook events for classes each semester. With AI, that work now takes just three hours for one team member. This dramatic improvement frees staff to focus on higher-value tasks and reduces the risk of errors.

“I built this solution myself,”  Taber explains. “It took a lot of tinkering and retrying, but the payoff has been incredible.”
 
By automating repetitive processes and bridging gaps between systems, AI is helping the team work smarter and faster, ultimately improving operations across the board.
