Summary
Open Source Quality Assurance System – an Erasmus+ Project
OpenQAsS is a European project to develop an open source quality assurance system for institutions delivering vocational qualifications. This will include resources and digital platforms which can facilitate the QA process. The objectives of the project are to:
