The increase in education data and advance in technology are bringing about enhanced teaching and learning methodology. The emerging field of Learning Analytics (LA) continues to seek ways to improve the different methods of gathering, analysing, managing and presenting learners' data with the sole aim of using it to improve the student learning…

The approach of the University of California at Berkeley to policies and planning of administrative data processing systems, specifically, the transition from centrally-planned and implemented administrative information systems to user planned systems is examined. In analyzing the history of this change both the philosophy and the mechanisms used…

Recognizing the need to balance generality and economy in system costs, the Project INFO team at Stanford University developing OASIS has sought to provide generalized and powerful computer support within the normal range of operating and analytical requirements associated with university administration. The specific design objectives of the OASIS…

Campus computer centers can look to business data processing for answers about management and performance measurement. (Editor)

At a time when computing dollars are scarce and computing power has never been greater, colleges are forced to look at some new computing alternatives. (Editor/HS)

Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute of Connecticut offered a part-time training program "Computer-Assisted-College-Administration" during the academic year 1969-70. Participants were trained in the utilization of computer-assisted methods in dealing with the common tasks of college administration, the problems of college development and…

The 34 state-assisted universities and 2-year institutions in Ohio are jointly undertaking a broad program of management improvement that includes 5 specific areas: institutional planning, program budgeting, personal management, student records, and data processing. (Author/PG)

THE USE OF AN ELECTRONIC DATA PROCESSING PROGRAM CALLED "SELECTIVE DISSEMINATION OF INFORMATION" (SDI), WAS STUDIED AS A TECHNIQUE FOR SEARCHING THE LITERATURE OF HIGHER EDUCATION ADMINISTRATION AND BRINGING TO THE ATTENTION OF UNIVERSITY ADMINISTRATORS THAT SELECT PORTION WHICH IS OF DIRECT RELEVANCE TO THEIR PROFESSIONAL INTERESTS. THE…

Computer developments that might concern educational administrators are outlined, including physical size, processing performance, peripheral performance, cost of computation, and software development. Computer development and advances in data processing technology are expected to continue to be as dramatic in the 1980s as they have in the past 25…

The October 1973 in-service session held in Atlanta, Georgia was the first of two in-service sessions held as a follow-up to the Summer 1973 Information Management Training Institute held in Nashville, Tennessee in June 1973. The purpose of the in-service sessions was to ascertain the progress made as a result of the summer programs by the various…

The requisites for the development of sophisticated and meaningful information systems being applied in varying degrees in universities and colleges are discussed. It is suggested that a philosophy that provides for an adequate, reasonable amount of computer power for administrative use is mandatory, and that users should not be slaves to the…

The many and varied demands on university computer services are discussed and the importance of an effective data processing system for university management is emphasized. Case studies of computer use in admissions, registration, and billing are presented as well as the role of top level management in implementing data processing. (BH)

This report consists of material relating to a conference to disseminate information about the development and implementation of the Syracuse University Integrated On-Line Student Records System. The Conference Proceedings provide some indication of the scope of the project and the relationship of the modules associated with academic innovation to…

The management of change, with implications for a systems approach to administration, is examined in terms of the uses made of technological and methodological devices. Institutions now have machinery that can present data useful in decision making in a variety of formats; which can build models for expenditure, for student and faculty…
