Quality assessment

Facilitators must participate in a formal training of facilitators. He must be a practising educator within the field of that particular Pedagogical ICT licence, he must have passed the licence in advance and he must attend the annual updates to maintain his certificate. The training of facilitators focuses on the facilitator's role as an e-moderator and on the written response to participants. The contents, method and material of the particular licence are other focal points. Annual updates are carried through for facilitators. Here additions and revisions of the material are discussed, and experience and knowledge about the role of the facilitator is shared. If a facilitator does not participate in these annual updates, he loses his certification.

All facilitators are members of an e-conference for their particular Pedagogical ICT licence. Here they can discuss borderline cases, help each other, discuss matters of principle – and they are in daily contact with the secretariat.

The secretariat may select any assignment paper for further scrutiny to assess the level of performance both of the participants and facilitators.
