First three issues of the FOCUS: Tools for university quality collection now available in English
The first three issues of the 'FOCUS: Tools for university quality' collection have been translated into English, which will make it easier to share knowledge at the international level regarding the definition and assessment of learning outcomes.
In 2022 AQU Catalunya created the FOCUS: Tools for university quality collection with the aim of supporting the people responsible for university degree programmes in the course quality assurance process.
Since then, the Agency has published three issues that can be consulted in Catalan and Spanish and now also in English:
Focus 1. Degree programme profiles (December 2022), a practical manual designed for universities to implement new degree programmes focusing on the overall learning outcomes of the programme and the subjects that make up the curriculum.
Focus 2. Assessment of learning outcomes (March 2023), aims to help university management teams and teaching staff when planning the assessment strategy for students so that it is more appropriate to their discipline, profession and learning outcomes.
Focus 3. Fully online or blended degree programmes (July 2023), aims to help tackle the design, implementation and assessment of blended (also called hybrid) or fully online learning.
These documents are directed at universities and are also reference documents for external national and international experts who collaborate with AQU Catalunya.
