Students’ feedback on online education has become of major importance for many higher education institutions. While researchers already identified students’ success factors and analyzed students’ satisfaction in online study programs and courses, the role of expectations in students’ online educational experience has been very often neglected in previous research. Our study adds here as it captures students’ expectations at the beginning of an online study program, highlighting the differences to traditional on-campus students. Our results reveal that expectations of on-line students differ from the expectations of on-campus students and must therefore not be confused. Furthermore, the assessment of student expectations is not only a way to consider and satisfy students’ needs in order to improve online programs or courses, but also a means to track the institutions own performance.Keywords: Online Education; Student Experience; Expectations, Retention, Higher Education Management

This chapter studies the challenges that higher education institutions (HEIs) in Latin America face for the implementation of information systems (IS), highlighting specific characteristics of the region compared with other parts of the world. The study evidences distinctives of universities in comparison with other type of industries that need to be considered for the implementation of IS. Critical success factors and barriers for IS implementation projects are also recognized through a compilation of the experience of experts who have participated in projects in 14 countries in the region. It is intended that this work research will serve as a reference for institutions that are seeking the implementation of IS, and that it will also serve as guide for interested stakeholders—academics, researchers, administrators, and managers—to start such projects and ensure the understanding of the conditions required that will help them succeed.

By entering the era of higher education industrialization, Indonesia is required to improve itself so that it can compete with other ASEAN countries. According to several university ranking data, the quality of Indonesian education is still below Singapore and Malaysia. The portrait of the quality of Indonesian higher education is still very vulnerable to injustice and lack of equity             Competition for a professional workforce, having mature skills and being equipped with good language skills are prerequisites for competing fairly with other ASEAN member countries. Of course, Raden Fatah State Islamic University Palembang, which has approximately 25,000 students consisting of 39 study programs and 500 lecturers, both domestic and foreign graduates, has great potential to be involved in preparing a reliable workforce in their fields. The quality of the workforce must be supported by the quality of education held in each country, including UIN Raden Fatah Palembang. With good quality, the country's human resources are ready to compete in the ASEAN labor market. The factors that determine the effort to improve the quality of UIN Raden Fatah Palembang in facing the ASEAN Community include: vision and mission; rules; governance guidelines; student body; human Resources; infrastructure; Tri Dharma College; international cooperation; visiting lecturer; and Asean issues. All of these factors are the basis for higher education management.

Higher education management refers to the five pillars of quality, autonomy, accountability,accreditation and evaluation (Dirjen Dikti, 1990), the ultimate goal of continuous qualityimprovement. Management improve the quality of higher education is defined as a professionalpublic service that is run and directed as much as possible to provide services that are in accordancewith the standards or more. In an effort to find out customer satisfaction in this case is the alumni ofthe Undana FISIP State Administration Study Program on service quality as measured by theinfluence of Alumni Satisfaction on Administrative Services, Academic Services and StudentFacility Services. According to the results of this study, adequate administrative services, adequateacademic services and unsatisfactory facility services. The relationship of simple correlation andshows the relationship between administrative services with academic services to the satisfaction ofalumni classified as moderate or quite satisfying alumni.

The wide application of artificial intelligence technology in various fields has accelerated the pace of people exploring the hidden information behind large amounts of data. People hope to use data mining methods to conduct effective research on higher education management, and decision tree classification algorithm as a data analysis method in data mining technology, high-precision classification accuracy, intuitive decision results, and high generalization ability make it become a more ideal method of higher education management. Aiming at the sensitivity of data processing and decision tree classification to noisy data, this paper proposes corresponding improvements, and proposes a variable precision rough set attribute selection standard based on scale function, which considers both the weighted approximation accuracy and attribute value of the attribute. The number improves the anti-interference ability of noise data, reduces the bias in attribute selection, and improves the classification accuracy. At the same time, the suppression factor threshold, support and confidence are introduced in the tree pre-pruning process, which simplifies the tree structure. The comparative experiments on standard data sets show that the improved algorithm proposed in this paper is better than other decision tree algorithms and can effectively realize the differentiated classification of higher education management.

Universities are distinctive as organizational forms in having emerged in early medieval Europe and then spread around the world while remaining recognizably similar. The management of early universities appears to have been based on what has become known as the “collegial” model: shared decision making by the more senior academic staff, with rotating functional responsibilities fitted into normal teaching duties. In England, Oxford and Cambridge colleges (and to some extent the universities they constitute) continue to exhibit this pattern. Early universities were clearly able to take decisions that could be described as “strategic”: commitments to major building projects, for example. As universities began in the 19th century to expand in size and numbers in Europe, the United States, and elsewhere, more senior permanent managerial posts were created to support the underlying collegial arrangements: the University of London’s first paid administrator, the registrar, was appointed in 1838. But it was the expansion of higher education, particularly in western Europe and the United States in the second half of the 20th century, which created the modern profession of higher education management. In most countries in the 21st century, higher education is either state directed or steered at a distance by state agencies (even when actual ownership is private). Yet typically institutional autonomy is publicly prized, often by the same governmental agencies that seek to limit it. This tension, between governmental control (both finance and politics are involved) and institutional autonomy (which is associated with high academic achievements internationally), mean that the skills demanded of university managers are of a distinctive character, and have some broad similarities across countries and cultures. These include the ability to recognize that university academics do not generally see themselves as employees of an enterprise in the usual sense and demand (with varying degrees of success) substantial autonomy in how they carry out their duties. The tension between what academics may see as reasonable demands for individual autonomy and the requirements of operating an organization employing thousands of staff, along with tens of thousands of students, has become more acute in recent years. It should be noted that while the categories chosen for the listing of works in this article would be generally understood by most scholars of higher education, there are considerable conceptual overlaps, as the various category topics inevitably influence one another: strategy cannot be wholly divorced from finance or governance, and so on.
