2. ASUE is leading the activities of WP4

3. Assumptions of WP4 Higher Education (HE) Stakeholders support for students participation in QA Rectors and staff support for students involvement in QA Interest of the students to be involved in QA activities

4. Activities envisioned in WP4 Del.Activities Start (month) End (month) 4.1 Simulation exercises for reviewing QA at the program and institutional level 1324 4.2Simulation exercise for reviewing QA at National Agency for QA level 2526

5. The indicators of the achievement of deliverables Simulation of quality review at consortium HEI conducted Reports prepared and shared with all the trained students Assessment reports

6. Activity 4.1: What will students learn? the purpose of external reviews, the difference between the program and institutional reviews, the tasks of the national QA agency, how the review reports can be used by the institution to achieve an impact of the external QA, Learn how to apply the European Standards and Guidelines (ESG), how to act being a member of the panel (where to find the relevant information, how to formulate the questions), Develop the skills to multiply the knowledge – organize the trainings to other student representatives.

9. Plan of Activity 4.1: Part 3 NTaskResponsibleDeadline WP 4.1 Simulation exercises for reviewing QA at the program and institutional level 4.1.7 Development of methodology of QA review exercises at institutional and program level ESIB/ESU in will guide the process and propose methodology collaboration with ANQA and ANSA Month 23 4.1.8 Organization of QA review at institutional and program level ASUE, ASPU, YSAFA, SEUA, NUACA will host the simulations, ANQA coordinate the simulations, ESIB/ESU will guide the process and propose methodology Months 23- 24 4.1.9Development of assessment questionnaire and evaluation of QA review simulations at institutional and program levels and preparation of assessment report ESIB/ESU, UNIRMonth 25

10. Activity 4.2: The aims of activities: What will students learn? understanding what are the role/tasks of the national QAA, how its policy and procedures are being designed and how students could influence them; developing ability to engage with the QAA to suggest systematic involvement of students' experts in all reviews, run by QAA.

11. Plan of Activity 4.2: Part 1 NTaskResponsibleDeadline Work Package 4.2: Simulation exercise for reviewing QA at National Agency for QA level 4.2.1 Development of plan on the implementation of QA review simulation exercise at QAA level sparqs in collaboration with ANSA and ANQA Month 13 4.2.2 Agreeing on the dates of implementation of QAA reviews sparqs, ANQA and ANSA Month 14 4.2.3Development of the methodology of QA review simulations on QAA level sparqs in collaboration with ANSA and ANQA Month 23

12. Plan of Activity 4.2: Part 2 NTaskResponsibleDeadline Work Package 4.2: Simulation exercise for reviewing QA at National Agency for QA level 4.2.4 Organization of QA review simulations on QAA level sparqs, ANQA, ANSA, trained students Months 25, 26 4.2.5 Development of relevant tool on the assessment of QA review simulation at QAA level and conducting an evaluation and preparation of report on the evaluation results sparqs, UNIRMonth 23 4.2.6Trained Student-experts’ contribution (using the knowledge gained during the simulations) on the development of student QA Handbook under WP3. ANSA, all trained students Months 25, 26

13. The Roles of Partners ASUE, ASPU, YSAFA, SEUA, NUACA: host QA review simulations and institutional and program levels. ESIB/ESU will provide the experts which will coach the QA review simulation teams at the program, institutional and agency level. ESU also will support the hosting institutions in preparing the review exercise. UNIMC, SHU and UNIR will host a QA review simulation, preparing the review exercise documentation and fully supporting the team of students involved in the simulation at the program and institutional level. sparqs will provide the experts which will coach the QA review simulation teams at the program, institutional and agency level. They also will support the hosting institutions in preparing the review exercise, especially at the QA agency level. ANQA will host a QA review simulation, preparing the review exercise documentation and fully supporting the team of students involved in the simulation at QA agency level. ANSA will be involved all the WP activities, by ensuring the participation of the trained students in the review exercises.
