Abstract

Today, many universities are confronted with the changing education paradigm such as e-Learning, CBT(Computer-based Training), Virtual University. Particularly, the Virtual University is now in the countrys educational mainstream as a legitimate, potentially standards-setting educational environment. These streams are certainly a new opportunity or threat to our universities. To overcome this problem, we should think this as strategic, and should implement IT-based Virtual University System to which computer and network technology is main edge. So, we think that the Virtual University System is SIS(Strategic Information System) which support universitys future education strategies. We proposed a planning framework for the Virtual University System. The framework which is based on the IS planning methodology is composed of such as environment analysis, requirement analysis of the system, strategic roles and objectives setting, scenario analysis of budget and revenue. To define the strategic roles and objectives of the system, we surveyed it on the side of instructors. We proposed five factors, which are to (1) improve competitiveness (2) reduce cost and secure profit (3) enhance education services (4) change the future education model (5) decrease dysfunctions of virtual education model.

오늘날 대학은 지식 및 정보혁명에 대응하여 새로운 가상학습모델(가상대학, E-Learning)의 도입과 같은 교육 패러다임의 변화기에 놓여 있다. 이러한 변화기에 가상대학은 분명 대학에게 새로운 기회와 위협을 주고 있다. 만일 대학이 가상학습모델의 지원을 위한 가상대학시스템을 구축하고, 이를 미래의 중요한 전략적 요소로 인식한다면 가상대학시스템은 대학의 입장에서 볼 때 중요한 전략적 정보시스템이 될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 가상대학시스템을 대학의 중요한 전략정보시스템으로 인지하고 이에 대한 체계적인 전략계획수립을 위한 하나의 프레임웍을 제시하며, 가상대학시스템 전략수립에 있어 가장 큰 영향력을 가진 집단인 교수자의 의견과 요구사항을 분석하여 이들의 요구가 가상대학 전략수립에 어떻게 반영되어야 할 것인지를 제시하고자 한다.
