Today, AQU Catalunya provided training on learning outcomes to around fifteen members of staff from the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC). The participants included academic leaders and technical staff interested in improving the drafting of learning outcomes for the university degree programmes that the online university’s faculties submit for verification and modification processes and that are assessed by AQU Catalunya’s Specific Assessment Committees.
The training session, delivered by AQU Catalunya technical adviser Josep Manel Torres, began with a brief introduction explaining what learning outcomes are. Torres then moved on to practical case studies highlighting areas for improvement and examples of good practice identified in the programme reports of UOC degree programmes.
The training is the result of AQU Catalunya’s ongoing work with the universities’ Quality Technical Units. With regard to the development and drafting of learning outcomes, the Agency has delivered several training sessions. These include training addressed to the entire Catalan university system on Focus 1 and Focus 2, regular training sessions for assessment committees, and training for Quality Technical Units aimed at improving the drafting of learning outcomes in university programme reports.
