ISO framework for SPICE (Software Process Improvement and Capability Determination) process evaluation. Making a connection with this model, the developed model identifies five areas or main categories that encompass a set of processes. Practices needed for each category were identified based on research in literature, grouped and adapted according to each category. For evaluation, the model was implemented at the University of New Zealand, assessing their e-learning programs. • Courses: The Computing Education Maturity Model (CEMM)12 evaluates the maturity of educational organizations in the same way CMM evaluates software oriented organizations.

sponsored by the California Education Round Table wasperformed in the fall of 1996 [12]. Based on this study, it is believed that the Internet and theWorld Wide Web will play multiple important roles in the higher education. Because of itspotential advantages, universities are not only one of the leading forces in developing theInternet infrastructure technologies, but also one of the first to adopt these technologies foreducational purposes. There are numerous ways to use the Web for education, such as generalcourse administration [13], information delivery [14], virtual laboratories [15], Internet-basedsimulation [16], online courses [17], and virtual universities [18].Based on current research as outlined, it is evident that work has been done

STEM-related subjects. It must be remembered that the interest in STEMeducation and careers varies from personal reasons to conditions outside the control of potentialand current students. The Pew Research Center did a survey in 2017 and found that 52% of thesurveyed adults agree that the STEM-based curriculum for today’s youth (around 21%-24%) wastoo hard for them [5]. These courses normally became hard between the ages of thirteen toseventeen [6]. Other reasons included that STEM education did not relate to their career goals orit did not catch their interest. Due to the indifference in these subjects, these students flocked toother subjects. In 2009, a report showed that two competing subjects against STEM were visualand performing arts
