TAP Project management meeting in Alicante

From July 11th to July 13th, the University of Alicante welcomed the members of the Erasmus+ Project  “Transforming Assessment Practices in Large Enrollment First Year Foundation (TAP)” group members for its third Project Coordination Meeting, an event coordinated by the An-Najah National University in Palestine and co-funded by the European Union.

The members of the TAP project met at the University of Alicante with representatives of the  International Project Management Office of the University of Alicante to discuss training implementation, review standard course templates as well as policies for first-year education level. The objective of the TAP project is to improve assessment practices on foundational first year education by using technology options, ensuring quality and accreditation as well as implementing large enrolment modules in professional degree programs.

The TAP project also uses these technologies to facilitate timely feedback loops from faculty along with students to establish an effective way to improve deficiencies. The six universities from four different countries involved in the project are the following:
1.    An-najah National University
2.    Palestine Polytechnic University
3.    University of College Cork
4.    Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava
5.    Universidad de Alicante
6.    University College of Applied Sciences

This meeting was an excellent opportunity for the TAP project members to get together and share practices they have been  learning and developing in order to transform assessment practices in large enrollment first-year education level.
