“…Despite offering an alternative for the students who are unable to meet the advisor physically, advisors should consider technology as a helping tool to ease the advising process, enhance the advising experience and alleviate workload but they should not regard it as a substitute to human advice [7]. The integration of human and technology will help save time for advisors, enhance the student's experience, satisfaction and facilitate graduation on time [8].…”

It is an essential element in solving students' academic problems and maximizing their satisfaction and loyalty. Universities around the world have always tried to improve academic advising to personalize the student's experience. In fact, technology has the power to improve the advising process and facilitate its corresponding tasks and this has historically taken different forms. Accordingly, this paper provides an overview of academic advising and the technologies proposed to improve it. The authors present a systematic literature review on research papers that proposed an electronic academic advising system to view the research trends and identify electronic academic advising major challenges. The main contribution of this paper is to survey the different aspects and trends about the electronic systems that have been proposed to serve academic advising. This paper is a part of major research that aims to transfer the traditional academic advising to one based on Artificial Intelligence, via the current phase of academic advising.

With the rapid shift to remote learning because of the pandemic, the academic advisors of colleges and universities had to adapt and change some of the ways they were advising the traditional higher education students. In this new normal, where social distance needs to be present and non-traditional education takes precedence in the learning environment, academic advisors had to rapidly adjust and use different technology tools of virtual advising. Over the past few years, colleges and universities that offer distance education programs have been struggling in engaging and retaining their non-traditional online learners. However, with the pandemic, these institutions may encounter the challenge of not only retaining the non-traditional students but also, the new distance learners. Therefore, academic advisors will need to use creative ways of providing advising services in this new learning environment. Many studies have demonstrated that virtual advising has been helpful to aid the distance education students. Virtual advising uses different technology applications and platforms. Using it correctly can help students and advisors with the registration cycles and with any other concerns the students may have. In this chapter, the author explains academic advising and the role of an advisor, the definition of virtual advising, the importance of combining the different approaches of academic advising into virtual advising, and the different technology tools that can assist academic advisors when doing their job of supporting the students in the new learning environment.

Online interaction via Skype was least preferred.…”
