The accreditation of ICT degree programs in South Africa

Content Provider ACM Digital Library
Author Calitz, Andre P. Cullen, Margaret D. M. Greyling, Jean H.
Abstract The accreditation of academic programs in Computer Science, Information Systems, Information Technology and other related programs is increasing annually. Academic accreditation is a quality assurance mechanism for tertiary education. Accreditation ensures that a department or program meets a set of independently specified quality criteria and allows for articulation and course recognition by professional bodies and industry acceptance. International accreditation of academic programs is specifically important in developing countries, providing graduates entering the international job market an internationally recognised qualification. The Computer Society of South Africa (CSSA) and The South African Institute of Computer Scientists and Information Technologists (SAICSIT) provide individual professional accreditation and links with other professional bodies, such as IFIP. In South Africa there is no professional body accrediting ICT degree programs or disciplines. The accreditation of degree programs and the use of Industry Advisory Boards are seen as interventions that could assist in changing the perceptions of students pursuing ICT careers and departmental compliance to international academic standards. This paper examines the current state of degree programme and professional accreditation internationally. The results of an accreditation survey undertaken amongst all departments offering ICT related degree programs at tertiary institutions in South Africa are reported. The authors recommend that the CSSA and SAICSIT investigate the establishment of a South African Accreditation Authority that is associated with international ICT accreditation authorities. A South African accreditation authority will provide degree program accreditation and this will result in significant cost savings to departments.

About National Digital Library of India (NDLI)
NDLI logo

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
