A framework of Thailand higher education dashboard system

Prominent organizations, currently, have analytical data-driven tool to support their decision making. A chart-like dashboard is the most appropriate tool to make integrated decisions encompassing multiple functions based on relevance information systems. Such tools, however, are commonly used in commercial firms rather than in the public organizations, especially in the education sections. It is crucial that several missions for the higher education in Thailand, such as graduate performance, research study, academic services to the society, and art & culture preservation, need a decision supporting tool to accomplish such goals. In this paper, we propose the dashboard framework for Higher Education, called TheDB (Thailand higher education DashBoard). It is generally very challenging for the higher education to have their own dashboards for different levels in the organization. We have implemented TheDB framework in nursing colleges of Public Health Ministry. In addition, they explicit their work operation via the dashboard for education quality assurance audited and approved by both related authorize organizations, including Thailand Nursing Council.
