A Risk Metric for Educational Informatization Project Based on Information Entropy

Abstract—Education informatization is an important means of education reform and innovation by means of the information technology. There are a large number of risk factors in the process of education informationization project establishment, construction and management which can contribute to project failure. Based on the related research results and characteristics of education informatization, this paper provides a quantificational risk measurement model based on information entropy, and verify this model by five different types of project data. The verification results show that this method can effectively measure education informationization project risk.
