Control of higher education functions in modeling environment

Extension of computer systems in higher education and the ease of establishing information and activity connections with the systems inside and outside of a higher education institution provides new possibilities and at the same time new challenges for research in course modeling based education processes. The authors of this paper made and published analyses about possibilities for application of course modeling in education program practice. They selected a representative course definition method for the purpose of this practice oriented analysis. Recently, they worked on reveal of connections between higher educational and industrial processes. In this paper, the outside affects are analyzed and discussed those control development, implementation, and application of a higher education course. Because of extensive outside and inside connections amongst course entities, course model based higher education processes are supposed. After a brief citation of relevant previous research results of which the reported work is based, functionality of industrially connected course is explained as a basis for the rest of the paper. Following this, industrially interacted definition and control of course are introduced as elements of a new approach by the authors of this paper. Finally, communication at integration of component systems is outlined.
