Paper Abstract:
|
The aim of this study is to develop a dynamic model of an Information Systems Academic Program with Outcomes Assessment Feedback. This model can help academic administrators view the future consequences of their decisions in a dynamic frame rather than the usual static frame. The study uses the methodology of system dynamics approach which can model complex and dynamic social situations. The developed model architecture, functions and variables are determined based on existing research and experience in assessment of information systems programs. The model is implemented and tested in system dynamics simulation environment. The simulation examines the dynamic behavior and can investigate the variables that are crucial for the success of assessment policies. |
