In the time leading towards the second Quality Assurance Academy (QAA) edition later this year or even in 2021 and to keep the discussion on quality assurance going, we are delighted to be able to bring you the Quality Assurance Academy presents the HOW TO webinars.
These free webinars are designed as a series of moderated discussions building on expert knowledge, best practice cases and common topics viewed through the prism of quality assurance – strategy, accreditations, leadership, data analytics, effectiveness of learning and teaching in an evolving world, report writing skills and others.
The launch of the Quality Assurance Academy (QAA) – an EFMD GN programme held in partnership with RimaOne – in 2019 is in general reflecting on this very premise: How to manage quality in its multiple dimensions across a wide range of activities within a business school? While the main focus was to offer a comprehensive ‘quality assurance curriculum’ and highly experience-focused training to quality assurance specialists, the effort was made to enhance community building and peer learning. And this webinar series is one way of building that community of peers.

All webinars in this series are envisaged for one hour and will start at 13:00 CEST.
