For some time now, the open-source (OS) phenomenon has been making its presence felt; disrupting the economics of the software industry and, by proxy, the business of education. A combination of the financial pressure Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) find themselves under and the increasing focus on the use of technology to enhance students' learning have encouraged many HEIs to look toward...

W ith the advances of technology, an increasing number of higher education institutions (HEIs) have implemented digital repositories (DRs). DRs can help HEIs to develop coherent and coordinated approaches to capture, identify, store and retrieve such intellectual assets as audio-visual objects, data-sets, presentations, learning material and research papers. Th is has allowed various stakeholde...

HEIS (Higher Education Information System) is a project funded by the Croatian Ministry of Science, Education and Sports started in the year 2001. HEIS is a comprehensive information system that provides support for education related processes taking place within a higher education institution. As a part of the project, a data warehouse was developed to provide reporting and analytical features...

Sustainability issues in higher educational institutions’ (HEIs) research, especially in the social science field, have attracted increasing levels of attention in higher education administration in recent decades as HEIs are confronted with a growing pressure worldwide to increase the efficiency of their research activities under a limited volume and relatively equitable division of public fun...

The purpose of this study is to understand how Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Sub Saharan Africa (SSA) can migrate from physical to virtual administrative work environment. Information systems (IS) research on virtualness in HEIs has focused more on teaching and learning and less on administrative work. Therefore, a knowledge gap exists on virtual work environment and how it emerges. T...
