Welcome everybody for this first online meeting. Today is a kick-off meeting where we are trying to inform you and guide you through the project. I’ll use the powerpoint presentation in which all agenda topcis come back. We’ll do a short introducation of all people attending this meeting in a few minutes.
I would like to start with some general information, the motivation for this project and the aims. Please feel free to raise questions, but please stick to the subject.at the end their is more room for questions.
So, this erasmus project is funded by the EU as you all know.
Some use more traditional assessment methods then others. Or use methods to assess short term memory
Students are moving accross EU, its difficult to to assure the quality of our assessments and performance of students with respect to patient safety
Collaboration of this project and joint test production stimulates educational quality which enables school to compare their curricula and make changes where necessary. Possible to benchmark students performance
Set up a tool to provide longnitudinal feedback which at the end promotes self-directed learning of students,
Joint production of items and join test constructon. We set up and share an itembank. The project takes into account local cultural differences in our blueprint of the test.
Infrastructure which includes all steps and requirements to implement progress testing, taken into account an efficient workflow. So for item writing, reviewing, test construction adminstration and so on.
Through this partnership, a wider community and methods will be created to improve the EU standards for assessing students and in a longer term the quaility of education accross EU.
Consortium represents 5 countries
The steering group monitors the project and achievements of the project. They discuss the progress every 6 months and write a small report.
The steering group could attend the transnational project meetings, but not for all of them their participation needed.
However, I think that all of these persons are very commited to the project and will also work on project management and other activities. So their role will be sometimes twofold.
See also page 13 and further in the word file of the grant application which has been submitted
Here you will see an overview of leaders per IO and activity. All partners are responsible for the work being carried out in the project.
Each IO will consist of multiple phases or activities executed by a specific partner.
Each IO leader is responsible for the management and the explained outcomes or outputs of the IO. They have to communicatie, manage with and monitor the activities with the activity leaders.
We expect that every activity leader will make a Plan of action that outlines the intended results , work activities, roles, planning and so on.
Doodle for this. Please respons asap. The training is a 3 days training which provides your staff members training on progress testing, computerised adaptive testing, in item writing and reviewing and understanding the test results also for faculty staff members.
Itemwriting is included in budget for task 1.5 ‘ developing items’ which means 30 days as a teacher rate for each country.
The grant Budget comes to Maastricht. We will compensate you based on the task you are doing, the meetings etc and the fixed amount for project management within a certain period. We will know more about the financial rules and regualtions in Ocotber after the meeting we have with the National agency. Internally we also make arrangements and get support from the UM finance department.
