Although a few books are available on the use of computers in the school office, this book is the first one addressing the topic of computer-assisted school information systems (SISs) for an international audience, based on both practical and scientific international collaborative research. This book: - analyzes the nature of SISs, their intended benefits and history; - presents the development strategies and the characteristics of three SISs that are widely used in various parts of the world; - reviews what has been learned from the research over the last decade to inform successful design and implementation of SISs; - presents exciting perspectives on the future of SISs from experts, vendors, and users; and - reflects on what needs to be done to promote the full utilization of SISs by clerical and managerial school staff through better system design, user support, and continuing research. The book has been written for an international audience of students, researchers, system designers and implementers, practitioners and policy-makers in developing as well as in developed countries.It will also be of benefit to professionals in the field of school administration and school management to help them promote better use of SIS in their own context by learning from the experience of others.

This volume presents findings and insights from contemporary thinking and research about alternative and new ways that computerized information systems might be designed and used to support the improvement of educational institutions. Many pathways are identified although expansion of access to and use of computerised systems by a much broader range of professionals than in the past is vital to the success of improvement initiatives. The contents are in four sections: models for supporting and enhancing professional practice; computerized school information system models and designs; evaluation of system effects; and making a difference through training and professional development. This title should be of interest to a wide range of educational professionals, researchers and system designers. The contents suggest, in particular, ways that educational professionals might revise their understandings of how computerized systems may in the future be designed and used to support key institutional processes, policy and strategy development, professional and executive decisions, and institutional planning and programme review.This book contains the selected proceedings of the Fourth International Working Conference on Information Technology in Educational Management, which was sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) and held in Auckland, New Zealand, in July 2000.

This volume presents findings and insights from contemporary thinking and research on the application of information technology in educational management. It analyses the ways in which information and communication technology (ICT) has been used, across a range of educational institutions, to support various aspects of educational management. The book contains peer-reviewed papers selected from the proceedings of the Fifth International Working Conference on Information Technology in Educational Management (ITEM 2002), which was sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) and held in Helsinki, Finland in August 2002.

This book is for both specialist and generalist. For Information Technology (IT) and Educational Management (EM) researchers, it brings together the latest information and analysis of ITEM projects in eleven countries. But the issues raised by this collection of papers are so important for schools, school systems and the future of education that it is essential reading not only for researchers but also for teachers, administrators and all concerned with the planning and governance of our education systems. New technologies may improve our lives in two ways: by enabling us to do things better (accomplishing what we do already more efficiently) and by enabling us to do better things (accomplishing new things that we were not able to do before). Sometimes "doing things better" merges into "doing better things". Thus in the 19th century the coming of the railway enabled our forbears to accomplish their existing journies in less time and in greater comfort. But it also opened up the prospect of new journies to more distant places, and led ultimately to far-reaching changes in lifestyles in new, commuter settlements far from the old city centres. So it is in the present day with Information Technology in Educational Management. Some of the papers in this volume focus on specialist tasks, for example how to develop a computer-based decision-support system to help those drawing up school timetables. Others address situations in which the power of the technology offers us the potential to change radically what we do.
