The document discusses a roadmap for validation and the value of competencies in the Nordic countries from 2018. It outlines recommendations from the 2012 Council Recommendation on validating non-formal and informal learning. The roadmap can be used as a benchmark to assess progress on regulations, stakeholder involvement, quality assurance, and other areas of validation systems. Sweden's validation system scores higher in 2018 than 2015 according to the benchmark across factors like policies, financing, and information provision. The workshop questions focus on impactful factors in validation output, using EU mobility tools, the relationship between validation and career/business skills, and areas for further national and Nordic development after 2018.
Chris Millward from the Royal College of Physicians gave a presentation at the HEFCE Conference on lessons learned from the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF). The key points were:
- The TEF process was found to be fair and transparent, with clear findings based on metrics, submissions, and guidance.
- Minor refinements will be made to the TEF for Year Three, but the overall structure and methodology will remain the same.
- A subject pilot will explore rating subjects as well as institutions using two proposed models.
- Recruitment of panel members, providers, and subjects is underway for participation in the TEF and subject pilot in the future.
This document summarizes the results of a benchmarking study that used a "Roadmap tool" to assess the status of validation in selected areas in Denmark. It shows perspectives from different stakeholders (central administration, labor organizations, and validation practitioners) on indicators related to national validation systems, stakeholder participation, and quality assurance. While not conclusive, the tool demonstrates its usefulness for cross-sectoral work on common issues in validation.
The document summarizes the Roadmap for Validation 2018 compiled by the NVL Expert group for Validation. The Roadmap aims to provide policy makers and VPL developers a holistic understanding of EU policies and tools related to validation of prior learning. It contains indicator questions and discussion points for reflection on legislation, financing, coordination, quality assurance and implementation of validation processes in Nordic countries.

An employability framework and roadmap were proposed to embed employability across all academic programs. The framework includes mapping learning activities to graduate attributes and assessing their impact on employability. Next steps include proposing this work to the Academic Council and developing employability resources and modules for students and staff.
Preparing for an inter-institutional Benchmarking activity using the ACODE Be...Charles Darwin University
Over the last few years the Australasian Council of Online, Distance and eLearning (ACODE) have facilitated two major Benchmarking Summits in Sydney and Canberra, using the ACODE Benchmarks for TEL. These have been unprecedented events within the Australasian higher education, with 35 higher education institutions from five countries involved. To participate each institution first had to undertake a self-assessment of their capacity in TEL against the Performance Indicators in the tool, and then be willing to share this with the other institutions involved. Each institution assessed, at a minimum, two of the benchmarks, with many institutions doing far more. However, for an institution to maximize its experience with this activity they need to be starting their engagement well prior to the formal benchmarking activity. This workshop will help those new to the ACODE benchmarks understand what is required when using this tool. It will provide the wherewithal to ensure your participation is undertaken in a rigorous way. More importantly, it will provide a practical way to facilitate an internal activity, potentially with a view to then be involved in an inter-institutional activity. We will work through a number of different scenarios to help you understand the many facets needing to be considered in undertaking such an activity, and you leave with a strong plan of action for your institution to enhance its capacity in TEL.

Academic excellence through improved ecosystem and faculty engagement (4)Thanikachalam Vedhathiri
Engineering institutes have to establish an improved academic ecosystem for faculty development. Without such transformations, the faculty members can not become leaders who have to focus on graduate students, consultancy projects, interdisciplinary research, intellectual property development, and internal revenue generation.
The IET is a professional engineering institution with over 160,000 members across 150 countries. It offers various partnership programs to support industry, members, and academic institutions. This document describes the IET's Academic Affiliate partnership program, which provides recognition, networking opportunities, and ways to engage students for higher education institutions. Benefits include certificates, digital badges, LinkedIn groups, and support for career development and professional registration. Minimum requirements include recruiting 50 new IET student members annually.
This presentation by Kathy SKELTON, Director of Strategy, FutureLearn, was made during the discussion “Publicly funded education markets” held at the 67th meeting of the OECD Working Party No. 2 on Competition and Regulation on 3 June 2019. More papers and presentations on the topic can be found out at oe.cd/pfem.
A presentation to the staff of the University of South Africa as part of a Benchmarking Activity around Technology Enhanced Learning, using the ACODE Benchmarks. Conducted for the Institute for Open and Distance Learning (IODL)
This document summarizes a management project at Nescot College aimed at supporting part-time higher education linked to professional accreditations. The project provided multiple pathways for learners, including work-based learning, full-time, and part-time options for those aged 18 and over. It resulted in mutual recognition of credits between the Foundation Degree and AAT qualifications, and earned multiple awards including AAT Level 4, Foundation Degree in Business Accounting and Technology Management, Certificate of Higher Education, and Diploma of Higher Education. Recommendations include disseminating the outcomes, progressing credit transfer arrangements, and continuing to offer employment-focused higher education.
The document provides an overview of Daksh 2019 - Placement Excellence Program, which is an IIMB NSRCEL & Goldman Sachs supported career mentoring platform. It outlines the program agenda, components, and best practices for resume preparation. Specifically, it discusses resume structure, using the SAR (Situation, Action, Result) format to highlight achievements, prioritizing key messages, including relevant academic projects and extracurricular activities. Tips are provided on tailoring resume points to incoming profiles and aligning content with required job qualifications.
The document summarizes feedback from an IESC education workshop covering gaps in professional development, recognizing how people learn, and the focus for the future. Key gaps identified include the need for more training in various industry sectors, as well as masters level programs. Successful learning methods noted were interactive workshops and blended online and classroom learning. Over the next 12-18 months, CILT should focus on collaborating platforms and products, expanding passenger transport training, and developing common education tools like online learning and discussion boards.

Designing and Sustaining Large-Scale Value-Centered Agile Ecosystems (powered...Alexey Krivitsky
Is Agile dead? It depends on what you mean by 'Agile'. If you mean that the organizations are not getting the promised benefits because they were focusing too much on the team-level agile "ways of working" instead of systemic global improvements -- then we are in agreement. It is a misunderstanding of Agility that led us down a dead-end. At Org Topologies, we see bright sparks -- the signs of the 'second wave of Agile' as we call it. The emphasis is shifting towards both in-team and inter-team collaboration. Away from false dichotomies. Both: team autonomy and shared broad product ownership are required to sustain true result-oriented organizational agility. Org Topologies is a package offering a visual language plus thinking tools required to communicate org development direction and can be used to help design and then sustain org change aiming at higher organizational archetypes.
Impact of Effective Performance Appraisal Systems on Employee Motivation and ...Dr. Nazrul Islam
Healthy economic development requires properly managing the banking industry of any
country. Along with state-owned banks, private banks play a critical role in the country's economy.
Managers in all types of banks now confront the same challenge: how to get the utmost output from
their employees. Therefore, Performance appraisal appears to be inevitable since it set the
standard for comparing actual performance to established objectives and recommending practical
solutions that help the organization achieve sustainable growth. Therefore, the purpose of this
research is to determine the effect of performance appraisal on employee motivation and retention.
