Quality Standards and Certification

Not knowledge but competences are required to meet future jobs and tasks still unknown today Change from input to outcome orientation Learning cha(lle)nges (E-)Learning(E-)Learning Input: Outcome: Knowledge Competences

Quality is key for success and results of learning processes Learners needs, Learning objectives, Learning outcomes and competences Solutions: Quality

Quality Standards support development + design + realization + evaluation best learning outcomes! for

Quality Standards have always to be adapted situation + organization! to your own

Unique International Standardization Committee (cooperation of SC36 WG5, TC 232, TC 176 WG5) "Educational organizations management systems - Requirements with guidance for use" (as MSS) 1. QM Certification for LET aligned with ISO 9001! Elected Chair: Christian M. Stracke (Germany) Secretariat: KATS (Korea) ISO PC 288

Quality Assurance of Study Programmes in Germany & Europe

Obligation for Accreditation of all Study Programmes by law: No national certification for SPs & no national Quality Assurance (but many options & practices) Higher Education in Germany

Special situation in Germany: Federal state system 1 federal government plus 16 states with 16 governments Higher Education in Germany

No rights for federal government within formal education! Schools and Higher Education only in responsibility of the 16 states with 16 governments/ministries Higher Education in Germany

The Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs of the Länder in the Federal Republic of Germany (abbrev.: KMK) is the legal body [in German: "Länder" = German term for States] Higher Education in Germany

Obligation for Accreditation of all Study Programmes of Higher Education (HE) Institutions by law: Thus, no certification for Study Programmes in Germany Higher Education in Germany

Common Structural Guidelines is main law by KMK for accreditation of Bachelor and Master Courses and for planning & QA of HE, no regulation of study activities KMK: Structural Guidelines

Common Structural Guidelines by KMK is for Accreditation Council & Accreditation Agencies: Includes need for modularization of SPs + for Credit Point System KMK: Structural Guidelines

Accreditation Council by law: Responsible for the accreditation, control and evaluation of all accredited Accreditation Agencies and for QA in whole German HE Accreditation in German HE

Accredited Accreditation Agencies can realization Accreditation of SPs as Single Accreditation or as Bundled Accreditation: Providing Seal to HEI (if successful) Accreditation in German HE

KMK: Legal decision body Accreditation Council: Accreditation of Agencies Accreditation Agencies: Accreditation of SPs Accreditation in German HE

Good Practice in Quality Assurance of SPs

Good Practice Examples: 1. SP "VAWI" of UDE, Germany 2. Internal QA of SP & tools Higher Education in Germany

Good Practice: 1. SP “VAWI” of UDE, Germany

Good Practice Example: SP "VAWI" of UDE, Germany: Master of Science (M.Sc.) started in 2001, 99% E-Learning SP "VAWI" by UDE

In Business Information Systems: Virtual Faculty (10 universities) with 20 Profs., organized by UDE 543 students & 191 graduates (AUS, CH, FR, India, TK, UK, USA...) SP "VAWI" by UDE

Internal Quality Assurance of SP VAWI follows criteria by ASIIN: Requirement for accreditation by ASIIN (developed in cooperation) & many UDE instruments (next slides) SP "VAWI" by UDE

1st Accreditation in 2004 by ASIIN 1st E-Learning Accreditation SP "VAWI" by UDE

2010: 1st Re- Accreditation by ASIIN SP "VAWI" by UDE

Good Practice: 2. Internal QA of SP & tools

Internal Quality Assurance of SPs by UDE is in responsibility of the Institutes & Faculties supported by centralised services: Some mandatory instruments Internal QA of SPs by UDE

21 Phases for Accreditation Required documents: - Examination regulations - Module handbook - Quality assurance & development - Data on objectives, resources... Internal QA of SPs by UDE

Centralised services for QA: - Evaluation of all courses/seminars - QA & accreditation support - Development of framework for examination regulations and for module handbooks of SPs Internal QA of SPs by UDE
