International Evaluation Workshop (IEW)

“Performance Indicators of Higher Education Learning and Teaching in Context: Governance, Quality Management, Learning Theories and Policy“, 1–2 July 2019, Danube University Krems, Austria.

The SQELT International Evaluation Workshop (IEW) aimed at presenting and disseminating results of the first project phase to a wider audience. It also intended to self-evaluate the project and gather input from participants‘ critical reflection, in particular HEI representatives and members (e.g. leadership, quality management, teaching staff, students) and other HEI stakeholders (e.g. QA agencies, HE policy analysts, HE researchers).

Furthermore, the IEW attempted to embed the theme of performance data management and performance indicators into current debates and perspectives on HEI governance (and funding) and HE policy.
