Abstract(s)
The success of any information system in any area can be assessed by the
voluntary accession of users. In an institution where there is a single system
available to the users, this evaluation has to be done through user surveys.
SIDE is a portal based on information systems architecture to support teaching,
academic management of courses and the learning process, in order to support
the needs of integration of information flows in several university information
systems. This portal, which is in operation at the University of Trás-os-Montes e
Alto Douro since 2002, allows data management coming from the operation of
courses, providing to the management entities one platform to support executive
and decision support.
This portal proved to be an architectural solution that meets the needs of the
institution where it was implemented. The longevity of its use as the main
information system to support teaching in the institution proves that. However
these facts are not enough to conclude about the quality of the system and the
relationship with the users of the services they utilize.
In order to conclude about this we proceeded to carry out an opinion survey in
order to get some feedback about the usability and quality of these same
services. The surveys had a good participation in terms of number of people and
that allowed us to take what good conclusions.
