Evaluation

SEVAQ+ Launches Version 3.0 of Quality Tool

Nancy (FR), January 2012 - SEVAQ+ now offers a range of products and services to meet the needs of different types of users from different educational sectors, including higher education and vocational education and training. The offerings also address a variety of levels, including executive managers, training managers, tutors and teachers, as well as IT and administration.




For the individual user, the use of the standard version of the web tool is free of charge, while the premium version can be used for a modest annual fee. For use in teaching or training organisations that have a decentralised or bottom-up approach to evaluation, the Premium group is a cost-effective opportunity. It offers the full benefit of the Premium version to a range of users, with discounts starting at fifty percent.

For organisations that have a well-defined evaluation strategy that is being deployed top down, the Pro and the Global solutions enable the organisation to analyse results across the organisation and its various units and training sessions, as well as to sift through all the data that has been collected using a multi-dimensional approach.

While the Pro version is ideally suited to organisations that only need selected services because they already have some of the components of the evaluation approach in place, the Global version offers the full range of options and services. It is also the only one that allows an organisation to benchmark itself against the publicly available data from all users matching certain criteria across Europe (the Observatory).

The Standard and Premium versions are already available with version 3.0. The Pro and Global solutions are scheduled for 2012.

SEVAQ+ has now integrated the portfolio of products and services offered by EFQUEL, the European Foundation for Quality in eLearning.
