Evaluation results are available in real time and in a variety of forms, from radar graphs giving an instant picture to raw data for importing into other applications.SEVAQ+ thus helps you prove your excellence!

We hope to count you among the growing community of SEVAQ+ users and promoters of self-evaluation for quality.

The SEVAQ+ team

What can you do with SEVAQ+?SEVAQ+ is designed to help a range of organisations – professional training centres, in-company training departments or universities – to evaluate the quality of any

teaching and learning supported by technology, whether

totally online or blended.SEVAQ+ enables you to:Create questionnaires

•based on recognised quality approaches.

Analyse results with •

easy-to-interpret data.Improve the quality

•of your courses.

Teachers and trainers can gather feedback on what learners really think of their learning experience and thus improve their courses.Training managers can get the full picture by comparing responses from the different stakeholders involved and can track progress from one year to the next.Organisations can use the results of SEVAQ+ to benchmark

against others.Learners too have a voice in the process, adding comments to their responses.

Building a culture of

innovation in learning

The Learnovation project will:

explore, analyse and document emerging

innovation paradigms in all eLearning

areas of application – the so-called

"eLearning territories" and to produce

12 Thematic Reports;

relate the use of ICT for learning (actual

and potential) to policy priorities in the

field of lifelong learning and in a broader

perspective;

develop a consensus-based new vision of

eLearning, linked to innovation paradigms

and taking into account the differentiation

dimension of "eLearning territories", by

involving all EU and national actor

categories that might contribute to the

process;

design and activate a foresight capacity on

future use of ICT to support learning

processes in all aspects of European

citizens' life and to produce a focussed

Foresight Report;

propose a set of indicators and a collection

and analysis process able to document

achievements of ICT to support learning

processes following the Learnovation

vision;

develop a project multiplying effect on

different parts of lifelong learning systems

and in the broader societal scenario, by

actively involving external actors in the

organisation of Learnovation seminars in

their own environment.
