Cloud-Based Knowledge Management Framework for Decision Making in Higher Education Institutions

Abstract

The education sector is now necessitated to align itself with the latest innovative technological trends in the industry to be competitive while transforming database management practices. The Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) are currently using cloud-based applications at varied implementation levels while others are following the shifting trends. On-demand availability of consolidated information is a critical success factor to perform decision-making activities; as a result, quite a bit of research work has been performed in this realm. The study is aimed to propose an efficient framework that is capable of extracting the desired information from an educational setup intended to be used for decision-making purposes over cloud infrastructure. The framework focuses on addressing all the desired queries to be used for administrative and decision-making purposes. Further, different institutions will be benefited from enhanced and efficient decision-making with high accuracy and to boost inter and intra institutions' knowledge sharing tasks. In conclusion, on the premise of the decision-making architecture, a cloud-based knowledge management reference prototype framework has been created and implemented to verify the outcomes for one of the public universities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA).

A Cloud Exhibition Hall System of Extended Reality Using Apriori Algorithm

“…Build the interface through GUITexture in Unity, and load the scene through a script. For the sake of a beautiful interface, this scene uses a custom skin [28] . When the system starts running, it only loads the start scenario of the system and then downloads other scenarios from the background according to the user's operation [29] .…”

Machine Learning based Analysis of the Effect of Team Competition on College Students’ Academic Performance

“…As an incentive mechanism based on social identity and contest theories, team competitions have been increasingly applied in many fields. It has shown that team competition can not only effectively improve key metrics, i.e., participation [11], but also help them obtain a sense of achievements [16]. Markus et al [14] investigate how to leverage team competition to improve the cost efficiency in crowdsourcing through a large-scale experimental evaluation.…”

“…With regards to education, the imperative to maintain competitiveness and facilitate the transformation of database management practices has necessitated alignment with the prevailing, cutting-edge technological trends within the industry [16]. DiNapoli [4] describes the implementation of a pedagogy based on team competition in mathematics classrooms.…”

The role of university Knowledge Transfer Offices: Not just commercialize research outputs!

“…No obstante, los estándares y modelos corporativos de gestión se aplican cada vez más en IES públicas. En particular, estos modelos incluyen el uso de tecnologías de la información y comunicación como Big Data y almacenamiento en la nube (Younas et al, 2022). Sin embargo, aún se presentan barreras en la implementación de dichos modelos, pues las IES públicas se caracterizan por la complejidad e inestabilidad del ambiente en el cual se desenvuelven, poseer múltiples objetivos de gestión, contar con variedad de stakeholders, y tener limitaciones de acceso a recursos públicos (Nazarko & Šaparauskas, 2014).…”
