Meeting with QIS

I had a meeting with Chris Gray (Quality Improvement Officer) on Thursday 5th August to discuss the events which will take a place on the DIVAS Community of Practice through the academic year.
We agreed on these initial events:
  • First Online Event: Validation Process presentation by CG and HB - early September
  • Second Face to Face Event: : Introduction to DIVAS by HB and CG - late October
  • Third Online Event: Developing Foundation Degree by Richard Benefer or CG - November?
  • Fourth Online Event: Technology Supported Learning by Glynn Skerrat - December? Or E-learning by Sue Lee or HB - December?
  • Fifth Online Event: Validation Panel member by Mary Furness? Month?
A demonstration of DIVAS community ( functions and facilities) was given to Chris Gray who agreed to cascade the demo to his colleagues in the ADI department.
At the end of the meeting we produced an action plan to be completed before September.
  • CG thinks about the online event‘s name for September.
  • CG finds out about the meeting of Teaching and Learning Enhancement Committee so we can demo DIVAS to senior managers to raise the awareness.
  • HB creates PowerPoint presentation and sends it to CG
  • HB designs snapshots of DIVAS system prototype using Graphic Design application
  • CG sends HB the links of validation documents of The Quality Improvement Service website to be posted onto the main page of DIVAS COP.
  • HB finds a method on how to send events/forums adverts to all COP members
