Focus: FE on IQA

Adopting flexible education (FE) into the main stream higher education curriculum shall introduce challenges to the present Internal Quality Assurance (IQA) mechanism.

Internal Quality Assurance Process

PNC InQKA

3 Major FE Challenges facing IQA

people

• the need to re-educate

the present assessors to continue being reliable and competent programme/ institutional evaluators

process

• managing programme like

assuring comparability in curriculum design, delivery and assessment and consistency in meeting the intended learning outcomes

technology

• support related like

budget, IT talent, QA Analytics and Database, Cloud Computing, and IoT 8

PNC InQKA

People Related Challenges

• Variation in level of competencies among IQA

reviewers/ evaluators

• Sustainability of interest on IQA among

academics

• Competition with other academic functions

PNC InQKA

Possible Solution(s)

• Innovation in training / retraining on:

– Flexible Education Evaluation – Identifying/ Tracking Evidence – Technology enhanced QA report

• Scheduled Annual Training on QA Process
• Embedded Reward System

PNC InQKA

CHALLENGES on QA PROCESSES in relation to FE

• Disruptive Ecosystem of Higher Education
• Quality of HE being derived from accumulation of

individual students/ graduates performance (micro/personalised)

• Quantifying Measurement of Learning Excellence

through FE

• Spotting Evidence of learning improvement or

lack of it

• How do we establish/ differentiate between good

and not so good Assessment (of/for/as) Learning

PNC InQKA

Possible Solution(s)

• Establish a good Quality Governance
• Establish Annual Audit Plan
• Evidence tracking/sample evidence database
• Institutional–wide Process Improvement

Initiative

• Adopt design thinking approach in programme

review

CHALLENGES on TECHNOLOGY for FE

• Disruptive technology (Rapid Change)
• In-house or Outsourced IT development
• Commercial System or Open Source
• System Maintenance
• Monitoring Institutional DATABASE
• Technology enhanced Internal Review process

for timely report

PNC InQKA

Possible Solution(s)

• leverage on IT on all aspect of QA
• data analytics and
• good data governance
• good IT governance

PNC InQKA

In Summary

If each and every one of us IQA practitioner (regardless of nationality) could make an effort to learn, unlearn and relearn some aspects of Higher Education standard (9 Areas in case of MQA) by the day, mapping them to the FE characteristics, I would say Assuring Quality in Higher Education shall not be extremely affected by those disruptive development. We hence can embrace FE with ease and confidence.
