Grounded in the Design Science Research Approach in Information Systems, the goal of this research project was to conceptualise, design, and develop, an innovative framework for Programme Alignment, Implementation, and Reporting (PAIR) in order to facilitate student success at a South African higher education institution (University ABC) . For this study, the researcher applied PAIR to two academic departments at University ABC. Construction of the framework was interpretively considered and informed by the Diffusion of Innovations Theory of Everett Rogers (1995). The Blackboard Learn® Goals Area (BbGA), a feature embedded in the official Learning Management System (LMS) of University ABC, was incorporated into PAIR as it afforded the two departments mentioned above the opportunity to provide proof of evidence that programme outcomes were constructively aligned with course content, course assessment, student digital activities, the tracking of students’ performance, and the monitoring of students’ progress. It was argued that PAIR could also provide a basis for professional programme outcomes in the departments mentioned above when aligned to their respective Professional Boards’ accreditation criteria requirements. It was found that, within a decentralised higher education institution (such as University ABC) where an annual quality review of programme and module outcomes alignment and reporting in departments is not compulsory, that PAIR could facilitate such a process as part of a faculty’s and a department’s teaching goals. It was also concluded that PAIR could afford South African higher education institutions in general the opportunity to contextualise outcomes coverage and achievement reporting to improve programme quality and to inform intervention strategies to advance effective student learning and student success. es2026 Informatics PhD (Information Systems) Unrestricted SDG-04: Quality education SDG-09: Industry, innovation and infrastructure SDG-16: Peace, justice and strong institutions 2020-08-28T10:49:08Z 2020-08-28T10:49:08Z 2020-10-02 2020 Thesis Botha, AJM 2020, A learning management system based framework for higher education quality programme review, PhD (Information Systems) Thesis, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd <http://hdl.handle.net/2263/75946> S2020 http://hdl.handle.net/2263/75946 en © 2019 University of Pretoria.
