Implementing Portals in Higher Education

Abstract

Because of the increasing use of digital information within educational organizations, users encounter problems with finding and selecting the right information. Therefore, the request for personalized information becomes an important issue. Portals are seen as a solution because they can combine various information channels in a personalized way. This was also the conclusion of recent research in which several portals were compared with each other (Keller, 2004) to identify why portals are necessary.
