3. QMPP • 8 partners from 6 countries • Quality Specialists • E-Learning Experts • Organisation Learning Experts • 2 year project • financed by the LdV line of EU‘s Lifelong Learning Programme

4. Project Aims • to create a thorough understanding of the various useful methods and tools in peer production of e-learning • to identify key approaches of quality management in peer production of e-learning content and to benchmark good practices in peer production of digital content (in other areas than e-learning) • to define key processes to support peer production of e-learning content • to produce the content for the quality management tools for the pilot projects • to validate the approach through structured piloting of its quality management approach in three different VET entities • to produce a handbook and other tools to support the quality management of peer-produced e-learning content • to organize a set of training sessions and seminars to support the quality management of peer production of e-learning.

5. e-learning as a group of pedagogies How is technology changing themeaning of learning?

6. peer production is evolving ‚too‘ fast • Students are already using it • Large potential for improving learning • High quality risks if improperly managed • Enable or Ban?

7. QMPP provides a quality framework

8. Steps of the Quality Process • Position your Process • Purpose of the Process • Context of the Process • Define the Tools & Technologies Used • Each tool has different quality implications • The approach is technology independent • Assess suitability for Purpose

9. Steps of the Quality Process..2 • Define Enabling Processes for Quality • Which pedagogical approaches would best accompany this method of peer learning? • Specifically pinpoint the necessity of a peer driven approach • Define Enabling Tools for Quality • Tools for Quality not for Peer Production • Methodological & Technical Tools • e.g. require referencing, track persistence

10. Next Steps • Define examples of Content Creation Excellence (CONCEDE project) • Work with our corporate partners to integrate peer-learning quality thinking into e-learning tools
