WORKPACKAGE 2: DEVELOPMENT OF NIL-PLATFORM
WP-lead MIIGAiK
2.1. Research into the conceptual design of the NIL-Platform
The outline of the conceptual design (WP 2.1.) was developed and finished. The feedback from
Berlin regarding the platform was included. The document will be available on the platform at the
end of March latest.
The platform is presented during the workshop and also handed over to the Russian partners, who
are responsible for further development and launching (WP 2.2. and WP 2.3.).
2.2 Development of NIL-Platform
The dissemination website and the platform will be combined. WordPress was chosen because it’s
an easy, user-friendly solution.
The website has to be adapted by RU partners and the website can grow the demands.
Transfer of the Website: The platform has to be transferred to Russian server at MIIGAiK. This
process will start during the coordinator meeting at Moscow.
The front-side and also the back-end of the platform were introduced.
User access/roles at the VALERU platform: Administrators, editors, contributors, subscribers.
Password-restricted areas for project members can be created within the VALERU platform, e.g. for
providing material.
The advantages of WordPress were discussed: Easy to use, a large community and many plugins
Translation: A language plugin was installed. It is better to type the translation directly into
WordPress. A Russian translation for mask is available too.
For dissemination causes/ quality assurance/exploitation: There is a tool for site views. You can tell
where people come from, which pages are clicked more often, which less, etc., hits and downloads
number is important.
A webinar will be held to teach potential editors (our RU partners) how to use WordPress. The
editor-side is very easy and no technician is necessary.
WORKPACKAGE 3: TRAINING OF QUALIFIED EXPERTS
WP-lead UoC
3.1. Identifying competences of experts
The roles of the actors within the model of “credit assignment” were explained by Virginie Ribaud,
UBO. For more information, please see http://www.valeru.eu/materials/.
The roles of the actors within the model of “learning development” were explained by Jon Talbot,
UoC. For more information, please see http://www.valeru.eu/materials/.
European partners explain their validation models but they cannot decide what the right validation
procedure for Russia would be. This is a task that only the Russian project partner can accomplish
properly.
The advantages, disadvantages and similarities of both models were discussed in a plenary session.
Wording: The term “expert” is more appropriate for Russian structures than “facilitator” or “tutor”.
The final decision about the wording depends on the model chosen.
4
Advantages Disadvantages
“Credit
assignment”
at UBO
The evaluation committee at UBO is appealing because
it is made up by people with different skills. The
structure of the committee seems to be an advantage
and also applicable in Russia. The UBO model seems
more understandable for the Russian system and
culture. It is more convenient regarding the current
Russian education laws.
The system at UBO seems
rigorous, comprehensive, big
and complex. It is probably
hard to implement at a stage,
where almost no practices in
VNIL existed before, like it is the
case in Russia.
“Learning
development”
at UoC
The Chester model seems more suitable in academic
ways and also more applicable for master students.
The Chester model is quite
radical in comparison with the
UBO model, which is more
curriculum-driven.
Similarities in both models: A similarity of both models is the essay/portfolio. There is an overall
issue to link NIL to the traditional university education and if it is the task of the assessor to create
this connection.
Issues regarding both models: The problem with both approaches for the Russian system is the
holistic approach and the credits, as Russian HE is discipline and course driven. The small steps
approach seems viable.
The number of actors/roles depends on the model that will be adopted. The future expert has to
understand the theory and all models to be a good expert/validator. Therefore he/she has to know
all the roles.
3.2. Development of programmes for training
According to the grant agreement UBO won’t participate at the Russian training sessions.
Methodology of transfer the EU partners’ experience and knowledge: We have to concentrate on
methodology how we want to transfer. It does not necessarily be pure WBL validation. We have to
clarify how to validate learning outcomes achieved for entering the university. The core idea is how
to define learning outcomes, when students enter university.
Basic topics of the training programme:
o Theory of validation (Learning outcomes, European qualification framework, informal/non-
formal learning).
o Validation of work based learning
Improvement of the training programme: A partnership with trainees should be pursued to
improve the material. There will be questionnaires to improve the training sessions/ the training
materials. This is a way to ensure quality assurance and we can offer all the materials on the
platform.
Training Material: The material will be developed in a formative evaluation process. This process
would also be appropriate for the European Commission, because quality assurance is ensured.
The material will be offered on the platform. It can be used to promote the idea to other people. A
second seminar at every university held by the trained experts (WP 6.3) is important for
dissemination and sustainability/exploitation causes.
Learning mode: A teacher-centred lecture is not ideal because the people won’t get involved. The
training session actually will be train-the-trainer-sessions. Therefore it is not suitable to have large
groups. We should not only transmit the knowledge but also enable the students to teach it
themselves in the end, so the methodology is disseminates all over the region. A blended learning
approach is feasible. Face-to-face learning will take place at the Russian training sessions.
The syllabus, a proposal concerning the content of the training sessions and the training design,
provided by MIIGAiK was discussed. For further information, please take a look at the syllabus
attached.
5
o The training includes a workload of 2 ECTS, this means 72 hours.
o 16 hours working with prerequisites
o 24 hours face-to-face training = 3 days, including 8 hours of theory (4 lectures) an 16 hours
of interactive training
o 24 hours practical assignment as a preparation for the final assignment
o 8 hours of final assignment
The role of the platform: On the platform materials are offered and they can exploit it and transmit
it to other people also after the training session.
The number of participants was discussed. It was agreed that the groups shouldn’t be too large to
ensure the quality of the training programme.
The 5th
of May 2015 is the deadline for submitting the materials for Tula (upload the materials)
because requisite materials have to be available on the platform two weeks before the first training
session in Tula. There will be web-conferences for detailing about the material.
The translation of the training materials: DUK, UoC, DUW offer all materials in English. Russian
partners are supposed to arrange translation of relevant materials.
National qualification framework in Russia: There is no national qualification framework in Russia
according to Nadia.
Open issues:
VNIL for admission causes wasn’t discussed yet. There has to be a dialogue about this topic.
o Is it an approach which starts with the student and his/her experience?
o Or is it an approach which starts with programme and student has to fit? Therefore the
student’s experience has to fit the learning outcomes.
o We need to find examples for admission.
The first group of trainees has to speak English very well so they can adjust the material properly.
Target groups for validation procedures in Russia:
There are three target groups in Russia that have to be recognized:
Matchmaking between learning outcomes of vocational training and degree programmes
Matchmaking between learning outcomes of WBL and degree programmes.
Matchmaking between learning outcomes of different degree programmes. This actually is formal
validation and not a direct part of our project.
3.4. Training of experts
Preparations for Tula: 20.5., 21.5., 22.5., 19.5. for arrival and 23.5. for departure
Number of lecturers: There will be 6 lecturers: Anita, Peter, Eva, David, Jon, Isabell
Number of training sessions: It was also settled that there will be four training sessions. There will
be a training session in Tula, Moscow, Ufa and in Rostov on Don. The dates of the training sessions
are available on the platform under http://www.valeru.eu/important-dates/
Target groups: Faculty managers, admission officers, academic managers
The training sessions are about planting seeds and not just transferring knowledge. This is a more
sustainable way.
5. Accreditation of experts
A special certificate is very important for recognition and making it visible. From training to training
more people joint the validation-expert pool. The Russian partners can join forces as universities
and have their own certification with logos. It must not be a formal academic award. The
universities can have their own robust qualification.
From the Russian side it was planned to give out two certificates, one given by the ministry (there is
a LLL programme by the government) and one given by the university (signed by the teacher who
conducted the training), which hosts the training. The accreditation by the ministry is also planned
within the grant agreement.
6
Type of assessment: There will be an assessment at the end of all four trainings, with material
provided on the platform. There will be a deadline to hand in a paper (reflective paper review). It
will be a personal reflection. This type of assessment can be used in latter stages of the training
dissemination, too. For the final examination every participant will have the same knowledge and
the same level, even though the material was adjusted, as the materials are all online. This exam
was not planned according to the grant agreement but still it is necessary.
WORKPACKAGE 4: QUALITY CONTROL
WP-lead OPORA
OPORA had the lead of this workpackage before but OPORA should be switched to the latest stage
of the project - to workpackage 6, exploitation. Responsible partners for this workpackage are DUK
and MIIGAiK.
WORKPACKAGE 5: DISSEMINATION
WP-lead EUCEN
At the final meeting it would be wise to invite CEDEFOP for disseminating the results.
The platform will be used for dissemination purposes, too.
The methodological seminar in Rostov will also be used for dissemination purposes.
WORKPACKAGE 6: EXPLOITATION
WP-lead MIIGAiK
There are no working-hours budgeted, as the whole project is already exploitation.
This workpackage’s purpose is to sustain the NIL platform also after the project life-time.
OPORA has an important role in exploitation, not quality assurance, actually. The WP-lead should
be switched from MIIGAiK to OPORA.
WORKPACKAGE 7: MANAGMENT
WP-lead DUK
The workpackage-deadlines have to be fixed and they should not be postponed any longer. The
interim report is coming up and therefore we need first results and also all the reporting
documents in time. If no proper reporting is delivered, there is no remuneration.
The partners are supposed to send their time sheets and staff conventions to MIIGAiK, DUK in CC.
Invoices for equipment, other costs and travel and subsistence costs will be sent by MIIGAIK.
MIIGAiK is responsible for submitting all Russian documents to DUK. If one partner fails, it will be a
problem for all of us.
Further details are discussed at the management team meeting. End of the Meeting Minutes
