This paper proposes a paradigm for selecting an institutional software. The proposed paradigm includes finding an applicable theoretical framework for guiding the integration of the software into the institution, customizing this framework to suit the institution, considering institutional guidelines and policies relevant to selecting proper software, selecting the appropriate software product according to specific evaluation criteria, and evaluating the entire selection process for future reference. This paper documents the use of the proposed paradigm using a Canadian university's selection of an on-line courseware as a case study.

Keywords: institutional software selection, software integration, Web-based courseware
