8th Assessor Training Workshop for AUN-QA Programme Assessment

The 8th Assessor Training Workshop for AUN-QA Programme Assessment was jointly organised by AUN-QA Network and Mahidol University from 21 to 27 September 2018 in Bangkok, Thailand. The workshop was uniquely designed to give a "hyper-real" experience by incorporating both "simulated assessment environment" in the classroom and "live assessment" observation of the 121st AUN-QA Programme Assessment at Mahidol University.

The workshop aims to equip participants with the essential competences to carry out an AUN-QA programme assessment. The workshop aims to achieve the following learning outcomes:

• Demonstrate the competences to carry out AUN-QA programme assessment 
• Relate the quality assurance of higher education in key ASEAN member states to AUN-QA programme assessment 
• Formulate questions for AUN-QA programme assessment 
• Apply the PDCA approach in AUN-QA programme assessment
• Prepare an AUN-QA programme assessment 
• Conduct a desktop assessment for a programme;

• Write assessment feedback, presentation and report

The workshop was attended by 30 participants from universities in Brunei, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. The workshop was facilitated by Mr. Johnson Ong Chee Bin, AUN-QA Expert together with Dr. Tan Kay Chuan from the National University of Singapore.
