myMAPP was developed in congruence with the UNO Information Technology Services strategic technical architecture of interoperability, open standards and use of common, cost-effective technologies available in higher education. The system design allows both a highly customizable departmental implementation through identity management and user roles, as well as technical abstraction that allows substitution of any JDBC compliant RDBMS.

The myMAPP design:

— uses a common sign-on process;

— uses a common navigation within the individual myMAPP components;

— complies with existing campus and system security and privacy policies;

— scales to a campus or university system;

— captures achievements and practices as well as reflections;

— complies with existing administrative processes and guidelines;

— responds to constituency input by iterative design;

— integrates with student services and institutional research data to avoid gaps or unnecessary overlaps; and

— provides source data to the campus datamart for use in generating aggregated reports.
