INQAAHE Forum 2022
Sustainable Quality Assurance: Optimizing Synergies between Artificial and Human Intelligence
June 6, 2022 at 09:30 Mexico City time
Summary:
The workshop will be organised into two moments. The first one will be a brief introduction to the topic where the facilitator will raise questions that pertain to the linkages (or lack thereof) between QA and data management at institutional level, and national policy making. The second one will be an open exchange organised around the issues identified in the first one.
Participants will be asked to reflect on their own institutional situation and link it to issues that go beyond the institutional dynamics and refer to public ends enrooted in understating education as a human right.
