  7. Validation Validation is the process whereby FETAC ensures that programmes offered by registered providers leading to FETAC awards, provide learners with appropriate opportunities to reach the standards for awards. Programme Approval Agreement is an agreement between FETAC and a VEC which builds on the QA Agreement to enable a VEC to evaluate and approve its own programmes in accordance with a set of agreed processes, procedures and criteria.

  8. Validation Process • Programme Development Team develops a Programme Proposal • Programme Proposal is submitted to the Programme Approval Committee for approval. • Programme is developed. • Programme Descriptor completed (Appendix 3) • Programme Descriptor is screened by Process Coordinator (Appendix 4) and signed off for evaluation. • Process Coordinator selects evaluators (Appendix 5) • Evaluation takes place (Appendix 6 & 7) • Evaluation team signs off (Appendix 8) • Evaluation team may need more info (Appendix 9) • Process Coordinator checks evaluation is complete • Programme Approval by CCVEC Programme Approval Committee (Appendix 11) • Findings recorded (Appendix 12 & 13) and forwarded to FETAC with information requirements (Appendix 14)

  22. What is Moodle? • Moodle is a software package for producing Internet-based courses and web sites. It is a global development project designed to support a social constructionist framework of education. • The word Moodle was originally an acronym for Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment, which is mostly useful to programmers and education theorists. It's also a verb that describes the process of lazily meandering through something, doing things as it occurs to you to do them, an enjoyable tinkering that often leads to insight and creativity. As such it applies both to the way Moodle was developed, and to the way a student or teacher might approach studying or teaching an online course. • Anyone who uses Moodle is a Moodler.

  23. Feedback
