Information Visualization (InfoVis), as an analytics and visualization tool, had been argued to be befitting in attending to the experience of information overload, and subsequent decision making constraint of higher education institutions’ (HEIs) decision makers. This experience is said to be as a result of increase in volume of students’ data and the limitations of the available data manageme...

The problem of setting standards and benchmarking the quality of educational activities of HEIs in Oman is described. In order to do so, twenty one qualitative performance indicators (activities) were selected, defined, computed and considered as standards for HEIs in Oman. Two surveys were designed to collect the data from private HEIs for the activities/indicators. The methodology, validity o...

The Government of Poland (GoP) is currently engaged in reforming its higher educational institutional framework and sought World Bank assistance in assessing the quality of educational services at its higher education institutions (HEIs), specifically post-graduate courses and training. The World Bank prepared a study describing and comparing strategies followed by (largely) OECD countries in r...

in this paper, we study b-focal curves of biharmonic b -general helices according to bishop frame in the heisenberg group heis   finally, we characterize the b-focal curves of biharmonic b- general helices in terms of bishop frame in the heisenberg group heis

Let M0 = G0/H be a (n+1)-dimensional Cahen-Wallach Lorentzian symmetric space associated with a symmetric decomposition g0 = h + m and let S(M0) be the spin bundle defined by the spin representation ρ : H → GLR(S) of the stabilizer H . This article studies the superizations of M0, i.e. its extensions to a homogeneous supermanifold M = G/H whose sheaf of superfunctions is isomorphic to Λ(S∗(M0))...

Current financial pressures within higher education institutions (HEIs) are driving new ways of delivering education and assessment. New technological developments are facilitating opportunities to rethink traditional educational methods and explore more innovative, effective approaches. Set against a background of increasing pressures to integrate technology to enhance learning, both in higher...

As student numbers in the UK’s higher education sector have expanded substantially during the last 15 years, it has become increasingly important for government to understand the structure of costs in higher education, thus allowing it to evaluate the potential for expansion and associated cost implications. This study applies Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to higher education institutions (HE...

Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) find themselves much like today’s businesses amidst a turbulent environment with significant opportunities, distinct threats and a role much broader than ever before. The paper aims to analyze the applicability and usefulness of Business Process Reengineering (BPR) principles and techniques in HEIs, and answer the question of the role of I.T. To set the scen...

Within advanced economies, there is a growing concern that teaching and research within universities should be directed towards specific economic and social objectives. Nowhere is this demand for ‘specificity’ more clear than in the field of regional development. Whilst they are located ‘in’ regions, universities are being asked by a new set of regional actors and agencies to make an active con...

For many higher education institutions (HEIs), identity and access management (IAM) has proven to be a key enabling technology which does not only automate the handling of user accounts and their privileges to a large extend, but also allows a very tight integration into the existing business processes and offers comprehensive interfaces to IT service management processes. The Munich Scientific...
