Valutare con attenzione le dimensioni dei caratteri, importanti per l'accessibilità, la visibilità, la registrazione video e la produzione online. Colori coordinati Prestare particolare attenzione ai grafici, ai diagrammi e alle caselle di testo. Tenere presente che i partecipanti eseguiranno la stampa in bianco e nero o in gradazioni di grigio. Eseguire una stampa di prova per assicurarsi che i colori risultino comunque efficaci e chiari in una stampa in solo bianco e nero e in gradazioni di grigio. Grafica, tabelle e grafici Scegliere la semplicità: se possibile utilizzare stili e colori coerenti, che non rappresentino elementi di distrazione. Assegnare un'etichetta a tutti i grafici e a tutte le tabelle. Angelo Musaio, University of Genoa

Bologna Club session, Rostov-on-Don, Sept 2016

5 How does the Bologna Process work?
Starting point in 1999 Different systems difficult to compare Lack of transparency Difficulty in preserving the richness of diversity How does the Bologna Process work? Every two years Ministerial Conferences (Communiqué) to asses the progress made and to decide the new steps. Latest meeting held in Yerevan, Armenia, May 2015, focused on Quality Assurance of Study-Programmes. The Bologna Follow-up Group (BFUG) is the main follow-up structure, oversees the BP between the ministerial meetings and set up working groups to deal with specific topics.

6 Student-centered aims
Competitiveness and better employability by readable and comparable degrees Mobility programs A common structure of based in 3 main cycles (B-M-D) A common system of credits (ECTS) Cooperation in quality assurance Social dimension and equal opportunities of HE and Student-centered learning Bologna Club session, Rostov-on-Don, Sept 2016

7 Student-centered programmes
Each cycle should be seen as an entity in itself. In particular, the first two cycles should give access to the labour market. Study Programmes are no longer described and planned according to their contents, but mainly according to the “competences” expected in the graduates at the end of the educational process and the “learning outcomes” (LO) achieved by students during their educational process. The focus is no more on what a teacher has taught, but on what a student has learned and is able to do. Bologna Club session, Rostov-on-Don, Sept 2016

8 Student-centred programmes and the Tuning approach
A methodology for design educational programmes consistent with the Bologna process principles has been developed within the framework of the Tuning Educational Structures in Europe. Tuning is a university driven initiative originally set up to offer a concrete approach to implement the Bologna process at the level of HEIs and subject areas, and is gradually becoming the leading approach within the common European education space. Bologna Club session, Rostov-on-Don, Sept 2016

9 Tuning approach and QA system
The Tuning approach needs for an adequate Quality Assurance system having the following features: confirm the existing social need for the SP, describe the SP objectives and identify the key competences it should develop, identify and formulate measurable LO, design and describe the SP structure in terms of modules and credits, select methods of assessment in line with the competences to be developed.
