What is Application Architecture?
According to Education Enterprise Architecture Guidebook, Application Architecture helps us define the relationship between the user and the application.
| Both OARS and ESchool Plus have different purposes, but can be used as reporting systems |
Why is it important for educational programs to use this type of approach?
Using this approach you can understand how applications work and how they are supporting an educational agency. It also prioritizes applications and find a way to combine applications, and remove those that serve twice the purpose.
My experience
I understood the importance of Application Architecture where we defined applications through Program Area of Unit and Application Name. I could see the different applications used in my district and understand the different applications used for management, human resources, communication, transportation. I analyzed and came to realize that some of the applications for data management where duplicates, the same for Educational Learning Softwares.
