Design and Development of Romblon State University Romblon Campus Accreditation Data Warehouse

Abstract

Accreditation is conducted to assess and upgrade the educational quality of higher education institutions and programs, which requires complete documents for the precise information specification before the expert's review. Therefore, the documents and records of an institution must be effectively preserved to facilitate compliance with accreditation requirements. However, the data generally comes from different sources of various types, unstructured and distributed. This study designed a data warehouse to incorporate all the documents in preparation for college accreditation. The data warehouse was developed in a five-step process, considering the accreditation assessment with an emphasis on academics. Systems Development Life Cycle model was used in the development of the system. The ISO/IEC 25010:2011 standard was used to evaluate the system's acceptability using the eight characteristics. However, only applicable sub-characteristics such as suitability, efficiency, compatibility, usability, reliability, security, and maintainability were applied to evaluate the system. This standard ensures that the system meets the user's preference with the system being satisfied, and the essential features like uploading, viewing, and system maintenance by the administrator, are at their most excellent functional operation. The parameters which were created by the system can be used by other satellite campuses of Romblon State University, as well as other universities applying for accreditation of the Accrediting Agency of Chartered Colleges and Universities in the Philippines (AACCUP).
