Task Force Quality Assurance

Chair: George Ubachs (EADTU)
The quality in e-learning benchmarking tool E-xcellence is launched in 2007. It is an e-learning improvement instrument based on excellence level benchmarks independent of particular institutional or national systems, and with guidance to educational improvement.

The TF QA is the core group of the follow up E-xcellence+ project. Main aim is the valorisation of the developed QA tools. E-xcellence+ promotes the use of E-xcellence European wide and envisages increased performance and innovation in e-learning by promoting e-learning specific benchmarking. We support processes of improving e-learning performance by self-assessment, on-site assessment and accreditation by integration of the instrument in the institutional and national policy frameworks.

E-xcellence+ brings together the expertise and experience of 13 European countries in lifelong open and flexible learning as well as the expertise of quality assurance and accreditation processes from the ENQA members. Introduction of QA in e-learning will be organised in a European event on QA in e-learning and through local seminars in 13 countries.
