Quality assurance and qualifications frameworks as tools to promote mobility and recognition: national, bilateral, regional and global experiences and opportunities
This document discusses quality assurance and qualifications frameworks in promoting mobility and recognition across national, bilateral, regional and global levels. It provides examples of quality assurance standards and guidelines in Europe as well as the role of qualifications frameworks. The Irish experience with its integrated agency for quality and qualifications is highlighted, with the agency responsible for the National Framework of Qualifications and quality assurance of higher education institutions and programs, both domestic and transnational. Principles for quality assurance agencies in coordinating cross-border reviews to facilitate mutual understanding and trust while lessening regulatory burdens are outlined.

Similar to Quality assurance and qualifications frameworks as tools to promote mobility and recognition: national, bilateral, regional and global experiences and opportunities
Quality assurance in the Bologna Process (EHEA) relies on qualifications frameworks to articulate the expected end points of higher education studies. Higher education institutions and quality assurance agencies use the learning outcomes as articulated in NFQs to enter into dialogue with their stakeholders.
Quality frameworks for e-learning (SIEAD 2018, Brazil)Jon Rosewell
A contribution to INTERNATIONAL SEMINAR ON OPEN AND DISTANCE EDUCATION (SIEAD-BR 2018) 22nd October 2018.
"Contributions from Open and Distance Education to Higher Education Quality: present and future"
"Contribuições da Educação Aberta e à Distância para uma Educação Superior de Qualidade: presente e futuro"
In this presentation I will suggest using a quality framework to help you think about and improve quality of e-learning. I start with some general observations about quality and the need for quality frameworks. I then discuss two specific frameworks: the well-established E-xcellence benchmarks for e-learning, and the OpenupEd framework which as been specifically aligned at MOOCs. Finally I return to some more practical advise, particularly about thinking about the learning design of a course at an early stage.

This presentation was for a pair of workshops with European student representatives meeting in Amsterdam in 2016 on the topic of qualifications recognition and mobility in Europe.
The Irish experience of developing and implementing a national qualifications framework is documented. A particular emphasis is placed on the evolution of the institutional structures maintaining the framework.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

• National qualifications frameworks

• Tuning project has worked on
learning outcomes for disciplines
within QF-EHEA
• Integrating QA and QFs is
increasingly important agenda
10. Quality and Qualifications
Ireland• “an integrated agency for quality and qualifications in
Ireland”
• Established November 2012 by Qualification and Quality
Assurance (Education and Training) Act of parliament
• Reviewed by European Association for Quality Assurance
(ENQA) in 2014,
• Member of ENQA, INQAAHE & CBQAN
• Memoranda with QAA, MQA, HKCAAVQ, HKQFS (Ed
Bureau), NZQA
11. QQI roles
• Custodian of National Framework of
Qualifications (established in 2003)
• Qualifications Recognition Advice (NARIC)
• Quality assurance guidelines for all
education and training outside schools
• Quality assurance of all HEIs at
institutional level, onshore and TNE
• Quality assurance of private HE and VET
at programme level, onshore and TNE
12. External QA - institution
• Institutional review
– Holistic assessment
– Externality required
– Relies on (and checks) institutional
capacity for programme level QA
– Greater autonomy, closer to learners,
may be more cost effective
– In some instance authority to validate
may be revoked or conditioned
13. External QA - programme
• Programme validation/accreditation
– Independent
– More consistent across HEIs?
– More developmental?
– More trusted, especially for less
established institutions
– Demanding on the agency
• TNE example - Dublin Business
School/KPTM in Malaysia
14. Internal QA review
• Self-validating universities in Ireland
are required to monitor and
formally review their linked
providers and programmes
• TNE example – University College
Dublin
– Monitoring report
– Review of provision
15. QACHE principles
• QAAs should share information about their
respective QA systems and about cross-border
providers, with a view to facilitating mutual
understanding and building mutual trust
• QAAs should seek to coordinate and cooperate
in their review activity of cross-border higher
education, with a view to avoiding regulatory
gaps and duplication of efforts, and to lessening
the regulatory burdens on providers
• Networks of quality assurance agencies should
facilitate interagency cooperation and the
implementation of the QACHE Toolkit
