2. Annual Programme Monitoring (APM)
APM based on the Programme Evaluation Document (PED) and Module Evaluation Document (MED)
AQAS (Academic Quality Assurance System) – an electronic repository for MEDs and PEDs
Programmes in approved clusters (single programmes or frameworks)
‘Cluster leader’ (usually the Programme Lead) has responsibility to complete the PED

3. AQAS Improves effectiveness and efficiency by:
Single source storage facility for MEDs and PEDs
Avoid cutting and pasting into templates, other reference documents can be uploaded
Allows Cluster Leads to access MEDs contributing to their programme

4. Who? Module Leads - MEDs Programme Leaders / Cluster Leaders - PEDs
Partners via Partner Programme Evaluation Documents (PPEDs)
Needed for Periodic Review Panels and Institutional Review
Useful in handover to new staff

5. AQAS provides access to templates and guidance required

If I am a cluster leader?
Use the new PED template which will provide access to MEDs stored in AQAS to assist with completion.
