Guide for courses evaluation and upgrading
Although the project main actors, tutors and learners, have reached the envisaged work targets, and the global experience within this group has been positively evaluated, there is always a need of analysing and improving, if necessary. In this context, the Guide for courses evaluation and upgrading, synthesize the relevant aspects and conclusions drawn after each partner evaluation.
2. Summary
Technical progress and existing quality standards from textile industry require a good technical understanding and a complex process oriented thinking. Development of methods and contexts for teaching and learning in order to assure excellence in the educational process, it is therefore of a great necessity. The strong competition in the textile industry on an international level imparts better flexibility to the industry, as well as investment in education and adaptation of new skills for young textile specialists. This is the reason for the need to enhance the quality and relevance of learning opportunities in education towards the latest developments in textile research and innovation.
Sharing these beliefs, the project consortium members jointed their expertise and developed the educational modules content, in order to provide the target group with knowledge covering various topics, from the materials production, development and testing, to the sustainability, standardization, entrepreneurship and innovation management. The contents have been transferred into one e-learning platform, hosting the modules and being a place for interaction during the training, learning and testing activities.
Although the project main actors, tutors and learners, have reached the envisaged work targets, and the global experience within this group has been positively evaluated, there is always a need of analysing and improving, if necessary.
In this context, the Guide for courses evaluation and upgrading, synthesize the relevant aspects and conclusions drawn after each partner evaluation. The common views, as well as the divergent ones, will contribute to the further approaches and improvements of these valuable studying tools, adapted to the dynamic textile industry and education environments.
The guide contains four main chapters, organized in a logic manner, with the scope to provide the reader the main details of the project attempt, materialized under one quantitative and qualitative evaluation form.
