Mandated Adoption

Under the scenario of contingent authority innovation-decision, organisation managers make the initial decision to adopt an innovation and mandate its use to the employees. Although accelerating adoption by the employees, the ensuing stages of implementation are often problematic partly due to its non-voluntary nature. Utilising an interpretive case study, this research aimed to explore the nature of the mandated adoption and implementation of an Academic Information System (AIS) for academics in an Indonesian University. Gallivan’s (2001b) framework for innovation adoption and implementation was modified and then applied as a lens to investigate the case. The results indicated that the mediating factors (i.e., managerial interventions, subjective norms, and facilitating conditions) played a vital role in reducing the resistance resulting from the authoritarian approach to mandating usage. Based on the findings, contributions were made by extending the existing framework and providing insights for the university executives regarding the pre- and post- implementation managerial interventions.

Over Time

This work explores how data can influence the design of logotypes and how they can convey information. The authors use the University of Coimbra, in Portugal, as a case study to develop data-driven logotypes for its faculties and, subsequently, for its students. The proposed logotypes are influenced by the current number of students in each faculty, the number of male and female students, and the nationality of the students. The resulting logotypes are able to portray the diversity of students in each faculty. The authors also test this design approach in the creation of logotypes for the students according to their academic information, namely the course and number of credits done. The resulting logotypes are able to adapt to the current students, evolving over time with the departure of students and admission of new ones.

This paper presents a case study of an information system implementation. The system, a computerized student record system, was introduced into a small university when the university opened. Unlike many other case studies of systems implementation, there was no existing system to replace, thus it was expected that there would be little resistance to the system. Successful implementation was anticipated, particularly as the systems designers were also the primary users. An evaluation of the system shows this was not the case. Two groups of users are identified, one pleased with the system, the other dissatisfied. The secondary users did not display their dissatisfaction with the system by resistance, however. They used the system frequently, but were denied the full access they required to do their jobs. Ostensibly due to technical limitations of the system, the primary users acted as gatekeepers. An examination of the culture and management structure of the university reveals strong political motivations for the primary users to exert power over the secondary users. Markus’s (1983) interpretation of interaction theory is used to discuss the political implications of the system design. It is concluded that senior management must be aware of the importance of information systems to their organizations, and understand the potential for designers to use these systems as sources of power. The case study is reconstructed from the author’s experiences as a staff member at the university during the system implementation, initially as a primary user of the system (but not an active member of the system design team), and later as a secondary user. The case is evaluated from the perspective of both user groups, using a framework derived from the literature on information systems failure and successful systems implementation.

This article aims to evaluate the performance of the Academic Information System using the COBIT 4.1 framework at the University of Halmahera. The evaluation results show that the University of Halmahera has implemented a monitor and evaluate framework at the Defined Process level. Based on interviews and questionnaires results, it shows that the maturity level has an average of 3.8 with an expected level of level 4, namely managed and measurable, and has a GAP value of 0.24. Through the calculation of the maturity level results, it shows that the subdomain with the highest value is in ME4, which is 3.92, which is at the Defined Process level, and for the subdomain with the lowest value is ME1 with a value of 3.59, which is at the Defined Process level.

While defining resilience is recognised as complex with recent research highlighting the disparity of interpretations, there is however, a common appreciation of the wide range of contributory factors impacting on students’ resilience within the Higher Education sector. These can include but are not limited to, an increasingly competitive environment for graduate jobs, increased financial pressure from student tuition fees, alongside the more traditional concerns of moving away from home and transitioning towards greater independence. Building on previous research at the University of Surrey with high achieving students, this paper outlines the development and delivery of a student focused workshop designed to enable the participants to build their understanding of resilience using different but complementary pedagogic approaches: LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® and Concept Mapping. The case study included within this paper demonstrates one student’s reflection of the workshop and previous experiences which have contributed to their own resilience. What has become apparent at the University of Surrey, and more broadly within the UK Higher Education sector, is that universities have a vital role to play in fostering positive mindsets amongst students and developing strong and resilient independent learners.

The need for an integrated academic information system is being increase, especially at the university level. The academic information system that will be created must be balance between the technology infrastructure availability and human resource capability. The purpose of this study is to measure the influence of academic information utilization system on the acceptance of users, especially the students of the University of Muhammadiyah Ponorogo. Another purpose of this study is to prove that the application of science and technology have been done well. This research is conducted at University of Muhammadiyah Ponorogo. The sample is the students who have used the academic information system at least one year. The sampling technique is stratified random sampling method with a sample size of 114 people. The data is analyzed using GSCA analysis tool. This research adopts UTAUT model developed by Venkatesh. The results is a positive relationship of each variable measured.

This research was aimed to create a website based information system that can be used for summarize the flow and facilitate borrowing space in the University of Muhammadiyah Sidoarjo by student organizations. The research method used by researchers is the waterfall method, but the data collection technique uses several ways, namely observation, interviews, and also literature study. Researchers made observations in student organizations to obtain data, in addition to met with the Directorate of Asset and Environmental Management to obtain data. The result of this research is that student organizations can borrow space online, and make it easier to recap data and also minimize duplicate data in the system. With more efficient procedures, the borrowing process becomes easier and more practical

The Impact

The study was conducted to measure the level of capability of the academic information system towards the achievement of the university’s vision and mission. The researcher examined the impact that occurred on the university regarding the level of capability of the academic information system. The focus of this study is about effectiveness, efficiency, functional information technology units in academic information systems, integrity, saveguarding assets, reliability, confidentiality, availability and security. The researcher conducts literature studies, interviews, distributing questionnaires, examines documents and analyzes the results of questionnaire dissemination and document checking to obtain actual values from the level of capability of academic information systems and factors that affect academic information systems. The researcher processes the statistical data in the form of validity and reliability tests. Researchers use the COBIT 5 framework on 1 domain, namely the Monitor, Evaluate and Assess (MEA) domain to conduct research on the capabilities of academic information systems. The results of the study are in the form of recommendations for solutions for improving the capabilities of academic information systems at universities.
