Automating KPI Measurement: A Sustainable Solution for Educational Accreditation

This paper examines the use of interactive Google Sheets for the automatic measurement of key performance indicators (KPIs) in higher education, particularly in the context of academic accreditation. As institutions face increasing pressure to demonstrate quality and effectiveness, reliable data tracking and reporting have become essential. Traditional methods of managing academic records and performance metrics can be cumbersome and error-prone, underscoring the need for an automated solution. By leveraging Google Sheets’ dynamic capabilities, institutions can efficiently monitor KPIs related to student performance, curriculum effectiveness, and faculty qualifications. This approach allows for real-time data updates, facilitating timely insights that support accreditation processes and continuous improvement initiatives. The study outlines the design and implementation of a dynamic Google Sheets framework tailored to higher education KPIs, highlighting its benefits in enhancing data accuracy, reducing administrative burden, and fostering collaboration among faculty and administration. Through illustrative case studies, we demonstrate how this tool empowers institutions to meet accreditation standards and drive educational excellence. Ultimately, the research emphasizes the potential of automation to transform academic record management and enhance institutional accountability in higher education.
