Description

Good practice in quality assurance requires the presence of students on peer review panels during accreditation visits.  But how can we employ students in this important task without providing adequate training?

This nanocourse provides a basic overview and training for occasional student VETs (visitation evaluation teams), who may only be involved in one site visit. Although the course is particularly tailored for the European context and for accreditation activities carried out with the European Council for Theological Education,  much can easily be transferred to other contexts as well.
