The AsCOLA project has recently published two new reports that delve into understanding the distinct needs and specificities of Erasmus+ mobility students when it comes to course evaluation. These reports significantly contribute to refining and advancing the quality framework of Erasmus+ student mobility, marking a step towards an improved mobility experience.
The desk study report “Evaluative methods used in higher education and needs of teachers from Erasmus+ courses” provides insights into the evaluation methods employed by higher education institutions, especially focusing on student evaluations,specifically those from exchange students. It also sheds light on the expectations and needs of teachers handling Erasmus+ students within the evaluation framework.
On the other hand, the report “Transversal and course specific requirements for evaluation methodology of Erasmus+ courses” gathers information about the requisites of exchange students concerning course evaluation. It analyses how these needs and restrictions affect their course expectations and subsequent evaluation. The conclusions were drawn from a short questionnaire aimed at teachers, coordinators and other stakeholders involved in evaluating Erasmus+ mobility experiences.
The outcomes from these reports will inform the development of the AsCOLA tool, designed to enable students to evaluate the courses they undertake while on mobility. Stay tuned for more updates on this topic!
