Deck, Dennis – 1988
This report proposes a model for designing decision-making information systems in education. In the first section, several relevant themes in education and data processing are summarized, including user involvement, team effort, decision orientation, indicators, enabling technology, design methodologies, and process rather than product. The six…

Croll, Paul R. – 1982
A functional design model for a computerized adaptive testing (CAT) system was developed and presented through a series of hierarchy plus input-process-output (HIPO) diagrams. System functions were translated into system structure: specifically, into 34 software components. Implementation of the design in a physical system was addressed through…
