Introduction to TEL QA tools - Revive VET approach
2 likes5,593 views
The document discusses quality tools developed by the Revive VET consortium to help education institutions better integrate information and communication technologies (ICT). It addresses longstanding issues around measuring ICT quality and teacher skills. The consortium created criteria for assessing ICT integration at the institutional, professional, and curriculum levels. This includes ensuring support for strategies, infrastructure, training, quality assurance, and marketing. The quality tools are meant to provide transparency and openness for institutions to self-assess and conduct peer reviews of their ICT practices.
