Testa@Greeniwch - institutional approach to improving feedback and assessment...monikap85
The document summarizes the institutional approach taken by the University of Greenwich to improve feedback and assessment practices using the TESTA framework. It describes conducting a pilot of TESTA with 8 programs from March to July 2014. Evaluation of the pilot found low student and staff engagement, and difficulties accessing participants. However, it also triggered discussions around assessment design and provided evidence to implement changes. The document concludes with discussing sustaining TESTA by having it centrally managed or supported going forward.
The document discusses Egypt's National Quality Assurance and Accreditation Committee (NQAAC) and its efforts to establish a quality assurance system for higher education institutions in Egypt. It outlines NQAAC's mission to ensure high quality education and its strategic objective to prepare institutions for accreditation. The system's phases of implementation include establishing internal quality assurance systems, a developmental engagement phase, and an eventual accreditation phase based on international standards. NQAAC has made progress in capacity building, developing standards and benchmarks, and establishing quality assurance centers and internal systems in universities. Challenges remain around institutional resistance, documentation, facilities and linking the process to funding.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

PHASE I: CONVENING HIGHER ED AND K-12 LEADERS
5
In June 2017, LPI and EdCounsel convened a diverse national group of policy and
practice experts from both sectors to explore:
1. How can college admissions, placement, and advising better account for students’ development of 21st
century skills and encourage the kinds of learning experiences that students need to develop those skills
in k-12?
2. What can be learned from existing and emerging k-12 and higher education partnerships that include
performance assessments, including capstone projects, portfolios, extended-performance tasks,
competency-based learning, and ethical engagement as a part of the admissions, placement, and
advisement processes?
3. How can such a system support the development of a more diverse pool of qualified applicants, as well
as their enrollment and persistence in higher education? What actors within systems should be involved
to make this happen?

EMERGING RECOMMENDATIONS

DEVELOP A SET OF RESEARCH-BASED CRITERIA TO ASSESS THE SYSTEM-LEVEL QUALITY AND RIGOR OF
PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENTS
• Include criteria for the quality of instruments and processes, such as tasks and rubrics, and opportunities for
feedback and revision
ADAPT AND LEVERAGE EXISTING PLATFORMS
• Include robust description of performance assessment systems in k-12 school profiles sent to IHEs
• Include performance assessments on high school transcripts
• Train and support high school and IHE admissions officers re the inclusion and value of including performance
assessments in admissions
PILOT WITH INSTITUTIONS THAT ARE READY
CONDUCT RESEARCH ON THE USE OF PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENTS IN ADMISSIONS
DEVELOP A COMMUNICATIONS PLAN TO SHARE THESE LEARNINGS
EXPLORE WAYS TO INCLUDE IN HIGHER EDUCATION PLACEMENT AND ADVISING

Editor's Notes
RCA is now moving into early implementation
LPI and EC will work with a national advisory board
Regional and local partnerships with K-12 and higher education will begin to pilot
That work will be supported by capacity-building and innovation efforts to set criteria for quality work, to adapt admissions materials and transcripts to include performance assessments, and to generate the secure flow of performance assessment data across institutions
