This paper examines the applicability of agile practice in the Collaboratively-Developed Enterprise Resource Planning (CD-ERP) Model. This model has been proposed as a solution to develop Information Systems (ISs) for public universities in Libyan Higher Education (LHE) following the community-source paradigm and based on ERP. The study took place between 2016 and 2020. The purpose of the article is to discuss the possible impact and success of implementing agile practice in such an environment, while a hybrid approach involving agile practice and a predictive method was introduced. The risks and challenges associated with adopting the CD-ERP model are discussed using a SWOT analysis. Finally, the lessons learnt, recommendations, and directions for future work are presented. arabic 11 English 51

This paper comes as a part of an exploratory study with the goal of investigating the applicability of Collaboratively-Developed Enterprise Resource Planning (the CD-ERP Approach) within Libyan public universities. Since it is being proposed in order to overcome the topical issue of Information System (IS) development in Libyan Higher Education (LHE), Libyan universities were investigated to assess IS performance using the approach of methodological assessment. Accordingly, three public universities were chosen to be studied, namely: the University of Tripoli (UOT), Misurata University (MU) and Sirte University (SU). UOT was run as an initial study to identify practical problems in conducting a formal study. Previous papers have discussed the formal study, in which a methodological assessment of IS performance at Libyan universities was conducted. The findings from all three cases are discussed and analysed on the basis of selected techniques and models. This analysis indicates the low level of the ISs implemented in LHE at university-level, as well as the lack of system development capabilities within these universities. This paper focuses on the management of information flow between universities during student exchange. Business process maps are presented and improvements based on the CD-ERP approach are proposed. arabic 18 English 111

This paper comes as a part of an exploratory study with a goal to investigate the applicability of Collaboratively-Developed, Enterprise Resource Planning [ERP](a CD-ERP Approach) within Libyan public universities. The purpose of the research presented was to evaluate the new online system launched recently at the University of Tripoli (UOT) in order to investigate 1) what students expect from such a service, 2) whether or not they are satisfied with the service offered, 3) how important security issues are to the users. To answer these questions, quantitative data was collected using questionnaires based on the instruments of the SERVQUAL model via online questionnaires. Based on our results, students' expectations were higher than their perceptions of the quality of the services (QoS). The results indicate that students are obviously unsatisfied with the services provided by UOT's new online system. W arabic 27 English 135
