  11. CRUI experience in Quality Assessment CampusOne Project (2001-2004) • promotion of innovation in university education according the 1999 university reform • design of I° cycle courses respondent to the need of the labour market • wide diffusion of a quality management system and of the CRUI model for quality assurance of study programme • 70 universities involved • 500 programmes, in all fields • 90.000 students and 16.000 academic teachers

  12. CRUI Model for the Quality Assurance of Study Programmes The CRUI model for quality assurance of study programme assumes that a programme can be considered a “quality programme” when: • it establishes professional and occupational activities students are to be prepared for and programme learning outcomes “of value”, i.e. consistent with each other, and • with the professional and occupational activities, and • with the educational needs expressed by the organisations representative of the production, services and professional world;

  13. CRUI Model for the Quality Assurance of Study Programmes • it assures educational activities adequate to accomplish the programme outcomes, takes them under control and guarantees a correct assessment of student learning; • human resources, facilities, student services and cooperation agreements with businesses, research institutions and other Higher Education Institutions are adequate to accomplish programme outcomes, and are taken under control; • it monitors the results of the educational process; • it adopts an adequate, effective, able to promote programme quality management system, and guarantees the publicity of the information on the programme.

  14. CRUI Model for the Quality Assurance of Study Programmes • These principles constitute the “key aspects” to be considered in the QA of a programme and correspond to the 5 QA “areas” of the CRUI approach: • Needs and Objectives; • Educational Process; • Resources; • Monitoring; • Management System.

  15. CRUI Model for the Quality Assurance of Study Programmes • For each area the CRUI approach to programme QA defines • what characterizes the quality of a study programme, that is the • “requirements for quality”. • For each quality requirement the CRUI Model defines: • the documentation necessary to provide evidence of the programme quality; • the criteria for the assessment of the level of accomplishment of the associated quality requirement.

  16. CRUI Model for the Quality Assurance of Study Programmes The CRUI Model for the Quality Assurance of Study Programmesfulfils all the requirements of the document Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area, proposed by ENQA in February 2005 and adopted by the Conference of European Ministers of Higher Education in the Bergen meeting (May 2005). The CRUI System can be considered a European system for the quality assurance of university programmes.

  17. CRUI and DoCuP Project • According to its experience, CRUI is particularly interested to • the following topics of the DoCuP Project: • establishment of the standards for quality assurance in the Partner Countries; • identification of information and data necessary to assure quality of study programmes; • definition of procedures of collection and documentation of the identified information and data and organization of university facilities for their collection and documentation.
