Higher education students perspective on education management information systems: an initial success model proposal

As higher education evolves into a multifaceted and complex activity,
the incorporation of education management information systems (EMIS)
that allows for the production of relevant, organized and structured
information, becomes a necessity for both institutions and students.
Despite the recognition of this requirement, existing literature does
not focus on how EMIS might trigger students' success. With this in
mind, an initial proposal of a multi-perspective EMIS success model is
presented and a validation on the possible existence of linear
correlations between the model contexts is described. Moderate
correlations have been detected between the majority of the model
contexts and a very strong correlation has been detected between
students' satisfaction and the arise of net benefits associated with the
use of EMIS.
