The data presented in this article comprise an educational dataset collected from the student information system (SIS), the learning management system (LMS) called Moodle, and video interactions from the mobile application called “eDify.” The dataset, from the higher educational institution (HEI) in Sultanate of Oman, comprises five modules of data from Spring 2017 to Spring 2021. The dataset consists of 326 student records with 40 features in total, including the students’ academic information from SIS (which has 24 features), the students’ activities performed on Moodle within and outside the campus (comprising 10 features), and the students’ video interactions collected from eDify (consisting of six features). The dataset is useful for researchers who want to explore students’ academic performance in online learning environments, and will help them to model their educational datamining models. Moreover, it can serve as an input for predicting students’ academic performance within the module for educational datamining and learning analytics. Furthermore, researchers are highly recommended to refer to the original papers for more details.

The strategic planning of developing any information system is the key factor of progress any organization. Hence, SWOT (Strength, weakness, opportunities and threats) analysis for the strategic planning of developing information system has proved to be a good analysis tool for further development and progress of the universities/organization. Further, the implementation of computerized student information management system has become an important issue within the university campus to exchange such information between students and staff. Many studies have developed student information system through the converting of paper-based system to computer-based system in order to facilitate the work of staff. However, none of these studies focused on the development of such systems based on the strategic planning using SWOT technique. Therefore, this research focuses on the requirements needed to develop student information system based on the aforementioned strategic planning technique. Some universities located in the Kurdistan Region, Iraq have been tacking to do the investigation. Moreover, SWOT technique was selected to find strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of developing such system. The findings of this research were processed as matching strengths with opportunities and converting weaknesses or threats to strengths or opportunities. Based on the results, it has been found that the need to address student information systems is of utmost importance now more than ever in order to survive and continue in the competition environment.
