In today’s rapidly changing educational environment, there is an increasing demand for a flexible and repeatable system that supports the full cycle of curriculum development, operation, assessment, and continuous improvement. The widely used Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) model has shown structural limitations, particularly in providing real-time feedback, agile improvement, and data-driven operations. To address these challenges, this study proposes EduOps, an educational operations model inspired by the core philosophy of DevOps. EduOps consists of six stages - Plan, Design, Deploy, Operate, Monitor, and Improve - and features a modular architecture that integrates curriculum planning, automated course delivery (CI/CD), performance monitoring, and AI-based feedback tracking. Unlike prior uses of the term “EduOps,” which largely referred to IT service or educational technology operations, this study defines EduOps as a higher-education-centered lifecycle management system that technologically unifies curriculum design, operation, and feedback in a continuous loop. A prototype implementation was developed and applied to actual courses, with effectiveness validated through both quantitative indicators (student performance, engagement metrics) and qualitative evaluations (faculty interviews, learner feedback). Results demonstrate that EduOps enhances agility and transparency in classroom operations, supports continuous outcome-based improvement, and provides a foundation for data-driven innovation. This research establishes EduOps as a distinct, replicable model for Education 4.0 and demonstrates its practical viability in higher education.
