idfive Launches Academbot.com Website to Turn School Search on its Head
(PRWEB) July 22, 2013 -- Higher-ed marketers, idfive, are announcing the beta-launch of Academbot – a website that aims to change the way prospective students find and select colleges and universities. With over 4,000 college and university profiles, Academbot will allow students to rank and search institutions based on their own, individualized criteria.
Academbot also offers advice for prospective students on issues such as PSAT and SAT preparation, college admissions, interview techniques, essay writing, and lifestyle tips. As a fully mobile ranking tool and community platform, it is focused on meeting the needs of today’s always-on-the-go students. Future releases are slated to include additional features such as personalized dashboards that allow students to track and manage their college applications and schools social media “index.”
“We’re incredibly excited about this new venture,” commented Andres Zapata, EVP, Strategy at idfive. “Academbot will empower students to find the college that’s the right fit for them, rather than having to rely on impersonal institutional rankings.”
idfive Creative Director, Matt McDermott added, "This site looks fantastic and will only get better over time. In addition to benefiting students, universities can use Academbot to express their commitment to school choice and opportunities for leveraging technology to connect varied higher-ed resources with diverse learning styles and interests.”
