Student Info. System Will Suit Higher Ed.

  • 02/01/97

Software AG has partnered with the University of Cincinnati to design and develop a student information system (SIS) for post-secondary institutions. Most interesting is the deliberate choice of a template-based approach to allow colleges and universities to implement a proven, yet customized solution at a fraction of the cost of in-house development.

The SIS integrates a variety of key student-related services including admissions, curriculum, registration and student billing. For example, it supports recruitment efforts by automatically tracking prospect contacts and correspondence.

Students can access information on their accounts, grades and courses via the Internet, reducing time spent waiting in line or on the phone for staff to answer questions.

Programmers can modify the SIS at the design level, without having to change code. Pricing will be based on FTE size of the university and the modules desired. Software AG, Reston, VA, (800) 843-9534, www.sagus.com.

    California AI Watermarking Bill Supported by OpenAI

    OpenAI, creator of ChatGPT, is backing a California bill that would require tech companies to label AI-generated content in the form of a digital "watermark." The proposed legislation, known as the "California Digital Content Provenance Standards" (AB 3211), aims to ensure transparency in digital media by identifying content created through artificial intelligence. This requirement would apply to a broad range of AI-generated material, from harmless memes to deepfakes that could be used to spread misinformation about political candidates.
