Database design for course selection and course grading system

In the context of global education, universities and institutions emphasize the importance of proficient academic information management systems. As traditional approaches to course data management become obsolete, there is a growing need to leverage digital transformation for academic management. This paper proposes a novel course database design that centralizes information about subjects, courses, staff, students, buildings, and grades. The database is designed to facilitate the overall academic progress of students by ensuring efficient record keeping, retrieval and updating. The architecture simplifies administrative tasks, underscores the importance of databases in modern educational institutions by providing in-depth student data to support personalized learning, enhance communication among stakeholders, and aid academic research. The conclusion of the experimental test is that a database designer should always ensure they pay attention to avoiding data redundancy and ensuring data diversity when processing data.

Reflexões e experiências do Programa de Capacitação, Atualização e Difusão da Escola de Geografia da Universidade da Costa Rica no período 2015-2021

Teaching extensions are one of the functions of the Vicerrectoría de Acción Social at the Universidad de Costa Rica. Through this modality an academic exchange between teachers. and communities is offered to improve the welfare of society through the transfer of knowledge in an agile and direct way. These activities are beneficial for communities and contribute to the country's social and economic development. The Training, Update and Dissemination Program of the School of Geography (PROCADI) was created to promote geographical trade through teaching extension, attending non-formal educational needs aimed at companies, institutions, career graduates, university students, professionals and technicians from various competencies. Through a systematization of data associated with the PROCADI that are administered from the Academic and Budget Information Management System of the Vicerrectoría de Acción Social (BITE) in the 2015-2021 period it was determined that the PROCADI issues annually on average between 10 and 15 activities such as: courses, conferences, forums, seminars, among others that correspond to the themes of geomatic, society and population, environment, teaching and research, ordering and territorial planning. In general, the development of geomatic activities in the last 7 years predominate in quantity and frequencies. Traditionally, the PROCADI and the School of Geography have developed their in-person training in different spaces such as in the field, in laboratories, in auditoriums and in classrooms. However, the Covid-19 pandemic required a methodological change towards virtuality with the support of digital platforms. Among the challenges for the PROCADI, it is identified the ability to offer greater opportunities in training in the fields of territorial ordering and planning, environment, society and population, in addition to consulting and articulating the professional demands of the target audiences, as well as internationalization.

Analisis Pengaruh Digital Divide Terhadap User Satisfaction dan Individual Performance pada Pengguna Sistem Informasi Akademik

Since the pandemic, various sectors have shifted their online activities, which have also been applied to education, specifically in universities. Universities have individuals with different conditions, which encourages the management to provide information systems that support the implementation of activities at these universities. Not only learning activities but also academic administration is generally known as the Academic Information System (AIS). AIS was implemented at the Health Polytechnic Ministry of Health in Surabaya, labelled Academic Management Information System (SIM Akademik). This polytechnic has campuses spread across several cities in East Java. Each campus has different resources, thus supporting the digital divide. This study’s objective was to determine the effect of the digital divide, user satisfaction, and individual performance of Academic SIM users. These examine could develop the theory of the three variables and determine the digital range between campuses and user satisfaction. According to the results of three hypotheses tested using PLS-SEM with the Disjoint Two-Step Approach method, the digital divide had a significant positive effect on user satisfaction, the same as user satisfaction on individual performance. The digital divide had a positive, however not statistically significant, impact on individual performance. Furthermore, there was a digital divide between campuses in two aspects of measurement, and academic SIM user satisfaction is greater than 85% in all aspects of size. Employees experience the most significant performance improvement when using Academic SIMs, followed by students at 85,76 % and lecturers at 79,44 %.

Design of Teaching Quality Analysis and Management System for PE Courses Based on Data-Mining Algorithm.

Advances in network technology have led to extensive information technology construction work in all walks of life; universities, as a key component of national development, cannot be overlooked in this regard. In today's universities, the Web-based integrated academic management information system is widely used, promoting higher education management system innovation and improving the management level of education departments and teaching management. The traditional management mode is incapable of locating “knowledge” in the mountains of student transcripts, and the original management mode must be improved. In business, finance, insurance, marketing, and other fields, digital exploration technology is widely used. This article describes the design approach for a data mining-based analysis and management system for PE course teaching quality, as well as the application of information technology and data mining technology in PE by combining actual PE teaching in schools, with the goal of realizing a data mining-based PE performance management system to serve PE teaching in schools and improve PE teaching quality. The results show that the time required to find frequent itemsets using a traditional algorithm running on a single machine, as well as the time required to scan the database several times for frequent itemset search in a distributed cluster of 20 computing nodes, is significantly longer than that required by the data mining algorithm. As a result, the proposed sports performance management system is functional, simple, and scalable, with each functional module operating independently and cooperatively, reflecting the concept of “high cohesion and low coupling.”

Exploring Relationship among E-Learning Platforms, Technical System Quality and Perceived Students’ Satisfaction on Higher Educations’ System for E-Learning

Currently, most Indonesian universities have adopted an online academic management information system (AMIS) to provide academic and administrative service activities. This study aims to explore the relationship between the e-learning platforms and the technical system quality, and the perceived satisfaction of students. Data were collected using questionnaires distributed to 286 students of a university. The questionnaire showed that there is a difference in the e-learning tools, techniques, or platforms used by the students. The results of the chi-square test show that there is no significant relationship between e-learning platform and technical system quality and also perceived satisfaction of the students. That shows the platform choices do not affect students’ perception of quality and satisfaction. However, technical system quality is significantly related to perceived student satisfaction. Therefore, the e-learning quality should be improved in line with the innovation of a learning system during the pandemic, so that students’ satisfaction in the learning involvement increase.

Implications of anesthesiology resident availability on first-case staffing

BackgroundAnesthesia departments start an agreed-upon number of locations each workday. For academic departments, variability in the number of anesthesiology residents available to start the first cases each day affects hiring and staff scheduling. These decisions depend on the median number of available residents and variability among days. We analyzed the number of residents starting first-cases of the day over a 13.5-year interval to provide quantitative data to guide long-term decision-making related to hiring other anesthesia providers (e.g., nurse anesthetists, anesthesia assistants). MethodsWe obtained electronic data from an academic hospital's anesthesia information management system to determine the number of cases started by anesthesiology residents and other anesthesia providers. We assessed variability among days using quartile regression with clustering by 6-month period. ResultsFrom 2006 through 2018, the annual number of anesthetics increased progressively from 31,559 to 44,981. The percentage of all cases started by residents decreased from 38.4% to 21.4%, as did the number of cases started during regular workdays (-9.7 [SE 2.9] cases per year, P = 0.008). The number of resident days starting a first-case was unchanged. On half the days (0.5 quartile), the percentage of full-time equivalent residents who started a first-case was 36.5% during July to December periods and 32.8% during January to June periods (difference = 3.7%, SE 0.7%, P < 0.0001). The average coefficient of quartile deviation among days within these 6-month periods was 9.5% (SE 0.5%) full-time equivalent residents. ConclusionsThe fraction of anesthesiology residents starting first-cases on regular workdays remained stable over 13.5 years, but there was considerable day to day variability. For long-term staffing purposes, we suggest relying on the first quartile of residents starting first-cases (rounded down) as a strategy to calculate the number of anesthesia providers required each day to staff the first cases of the day.

Improving the Quality of Academic Services in Higher Education by the Development of SIMANTAP

Universities as educational providers need to provide good academic services for students. Academic services in the 4.0 era can be provided by creating an internet-based academic system. When a university does not have an internet-based academic service system, the university cannot provide good and quality academic services. This article aims at developing and analyzing academic services at universities by using an internet-based academic service system and Enterprise Architecture (EA). An academic service system called SIMANTAP (Sistem Informasi Manajemen Akademik Terpadu/Integrated Academic Management Information System) was made to implement in the academic service system at a university. The research method used was design-based research using the stages of defining, designing, developing, and reflecting. The research was conducted at four faculties at one university in West Java Province, Indonesia, which did not have an internet-based academic service system. The results showed that the utilization of academic service systems in universities has an important role in the process of conducting academic activities both for students, lecturers, and university staff. The academic activities were greatly helped by the use of internet-based academic service system. In its implementation, all users needed to know more and get used to using it, and the system designer needs to be responsive to anticipate any weaknesses in the system so that the academic service process runs well continuously.

LEARNERS’ SATISFACTION LEVEL WITH ONLINE STUDENT PORTAL AS A SUPPORT SYSTEM IN AN OPEN AND DISTANCE eLEARNING ENVIRONMENT (ODeL)

Learner support in an open, distance and online learning is defined as “all activities and elements in education that respond to a known learner or group of learners, and which are designed to assist in the cognitive, affective, and systemic realms of the learning process” (Brindley, et. al, 2004). Teaching and tutoring, advising and counseling, and information and administration are the main institutional systems involved in learner support. The UP Open University functions under an open and distance e-learning (ODeL) framework of distance education where most of its academic and non-academic processes are done through the Internet. It has developed an online Academic Information Management System (AIMS) which serves as the gateway to the University’s academic operations. The Online Student Portal (OSP) is the component of the system for the students. OSP serves such functionalities as online registration, viewing of grades, request for their records, payment of fees, and information hub. The study analyzed the learners’ satisfaction with the portal’s functionality, efficiency, appearance, ease of use, and security. An online survey was conducted of continuing undergraduate and graduate students (n=147) who were admitted prior to the implementation of the portal and thus had experienced both the manual and online processes. The survey was conducted from September 26 to October 3, 2013. In general, about 85 percent of those who participated in the survey were either very satisfied or satisfied with their overall experience of the portal. Ninety percent of the total participants found the portal cost-effective and informative. Overall, the participants identified the portal as a convenient and effective venue for getting accurate and immediate information about their performance, school activities, academic schedules, and other information relevant to their learning transactions. These features had made the portal an important student support tool that may enhance the learning experience of online learners.

The University of Washington electronic medical record experience

The Health Sciences Library at the University of Washington initiated and continues to develop a role in the electronic medical record, starting with the development of the first integrated web-based interface, called MINDscape. An Integrated Academic Information Management System (IAIMS) grant in 1992 began the process, which also led to the development of a clinical medical librarian position. Over the years, the librarian's role in the clinical environment became more established, and with the advent of clinical online resources, it offered further opportunities for librarians to provide the expertise needed to incorporate the appropriate resources. The collaborative journey continues as librarians, now able to directly access the EMRs, provide information about what resources to use and where best to place them and design how best to provide notes or feedback to clinicians.
