BPM-driven Educational Informationization Technology

Education informationization is an important part of the reform and development of education. Based on the re-usable and executable “task” and “sub-process” in BPMN elements, a supporting platform for education information system driven by Business Processes is proposed in this paper to meet the characteristics of education information systems: frequent requirement changes and processes cross systems and departments. The platform consists of three parts: a) Custom Processes and Services library; b) Business Process Management Engine; and c) process driven infrastructure that supports the business system. This the Custom Processes and Services library includes education information system oriented custom processes unit library and Custom Service Library; the process driven infrastructure includes Portal Generate Framework and Pages Jump Support Framework. The reusable tasks, sub-processes and services which can be conveniently assembled to processes models to meet the requirements changes frequently, are all collected in Custom Processes and Services library. In order to validate the effectiveness of the platform and technology proposed in this paper, an Advices Collecting System is introduced and designed by the platform and technology. The results show that the supporting platform for education information system driven by Business Processes is an outstanding solution to tackle cross-system integration and frequent requirements changes problems in education information systems.
