Design, Implementation and Study of an Integrated Information System for Educational Quality Management

Under the severe competition of globalization and the rapid expansion of higher education institutions, educational quality has become an important research issue. Although the studies have been conducted extensively on the content of educational quality, mechanism design, and educational quality indicators, little attention has been paid to the deployment of educational quality management and support of information system. In this study, we discuss the design, implementation, enforcement, and initial results of an integrated information system designed around the concept and theories of educational quality. The proposed system has been deployed in a university for four years. Some conclusions of this study are explored. Based on the theory of educational quality and outcome-based education, we can design a framework to guide the design and integration of information systems related to teaching and learning. The initial results indicate that such a system can improve educational quality. This study can serve as a reference design for educational institutions that want to build information systems related to teaching, learning, and educational quality assurance.
