9th Assessor Training Workshop for AUN-QA Programme Assessment

The 9th Assessor Training Workshop for AUN-QA Programme Assessment was jointly organised by AUN-QA Network and Ho Chi Minh University of Technology and Education (HCMUTE) from 6 to 12 December 2018 in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. 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 127th AUN-QA Programme Assessment at HCMUTE.

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;

The workshop was attended by 32 participants from universities in 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.
