Deliverables of the original FTA project

WP1 - Project Management

The management, financial and activity reports as required by LLP.

WP2 - Virtual Campus

• Implementation of a virtual campus.
• Description and evaluation of the Virtual Campus: A document describing 1) the architecture of the campus, its modules and features, and installation instructions; 2) an evaluation of the technical aspects and performance of running the campus for the pilot (WP5); and 3) recommendations for improvement.

WP3 - Course Development

A set of eight educational modules in English and in the SCORM format. Although the complete set of modules will be delivered in month 18, the first four modules will be ready in month 12. This will enable the start of the first phase of the pilot at the beginning of the second year

WP4 - Certification & Recognition

A set of learning outcomes per module (D5). To a certain extent these have already been defined by UOC for use in its own master programme. Work to be done includes:

• Refining the competences to ensure a fit with the European e-Competence Framework and relevant national frameworks,
• Translation,
• Identifying areas where competences have to be added or strengthened to comply with national requirements.
• A set of bilateral agreements between the FTA partners (D7), in order to establish mutual recognition of certificates for FTA modules.
• A fully described and implemented system of Quality Assurance procedures (D6.1).
• A set of recognised international specialists to form the joint Scientific Council (D6.2), which will oversee QA procedures in relation to the curricula, faculty competences, student performance, learning facilities and outcomes assessment.
• Setup of periodic reviews by the Scientific Council (D6.3) in order to improve the QA process. Means employed will include interviews of learners, faculty and staff and inspection of relevant documentation.
