For online universities

Student success
at machine scale.

Beacon is an autonomous AI agent that monitors every student's engagement, identifies at-risk learners before they disappear, and triggers outreach — without a human in the loop.

300+ students per success coach at most online universities
40% of online students drop out before completing a single term
11 days average lag between disengagement and human outreach
The current model
"I have 347 students on my caseload. I know who the top 20 and bottom 20 are. The middle 300 are a mystery until they vanish."

How it works

Beacon acts like your best success manager — but never sleeps.

01

Monitors every student, every day

Connects to your LMS and tracks login frequency, assignment completion, grade trends, and time-on-task. Builds a behavioral baseline for each student and flags deviations in real-time.

02

Identifies risk before it's too late

Flags students who are silently disengaging — login drought, falling behind on competencies, quiz patterns suggesting struggle. Not a dashboard: an agent that acts, not just reports.

03

Triggers outreach automatically

Sends personalized emails, schedules tutoring sessions, loops in peer mentors, and escalates critical cases to success coaches — all without staff initiating anything. Human coaches get briefings, not busywork.

04

Reports what matters

Daily digest to success managers: who was intervened on, what was sent, what's pending. Actionable summaries, not raw data exports.

Why it matters

Retention isn't a motivation problem. It's a timing problem.

Catch disengagement at day 3, not week 3

Early warning signals appear days before a student decides to quit. Most systems catch it weeks later.

Free coaches to do what humans do best

Coaches spend 80% of their time on administrative tasks. Beacon handles the monitoring and outreach; coaches handle the relationships that matter.

Every intervention is trackable

See exactly which students received outreach, what was sent, and whether engagement recovered. A/B test messaging, measure ROI per cohort.

Works with your existing LMS

Canvas, Blackboard, Brightspace, Moodle — Beacon integrates via standard LTI and API connections. No rip-and-replace.

One coach can manage 300 students.
Beacon makes sure none of them disappear.

Autonomous student success. For universities that refuse to accept attrition as inevitable.
