At the internal seminars and focus group meetings the following issues were discussed:

  • revision of the structure and content of Master's degree programs considering the best European practices presented during the Didactic Course organized by HSEL.
  • what are course learning objectives and how to write student learning outcomes according, for example, to Bloom Taxonomy and provide assessment criteria for each outcome.
  • best ways and forms of presenting teaching/learning materials in order to improve the quality of mastering the course (course vocabulary, mind maps, advanced organizer, infographics, visualization of learning material, etc.)
  • forms of student activity during classes and types of individual and group assignments
  • ICT tools for organizing a virtual workspace for distance learning (communication tools, access to e-materials, learning management systems, project management systems as collaboration tool for international student teams)
  • structure of course pages on the Moodle e-learning platform (mandatory sections, assessment sections, additional sections)
  • quality assessment criteria, policy and procedures for quality assurance, QA-reviews of developed syllabuses, suggestions and recommendations of UWR QA-team.

Infodays

On infodays were invited stakeholders from different professional areas. This is a great opportunity to integrate not only hard skills, but to take into account soft skills. Involvement of the stakeholders with different backgrounds allows to spread news about the project's work and success for the wider audience, as well as to involve new participants in the development and dissemination of the project.
Employers are interested in master students and attract them into their companies just on such events as infodays. They have a great opportunity to interview master students just on the spot. For example, some employers left questionnaires for graduate students to fill out and resume forms, as well as their contacts.
