A Web application for aiding tutors to develop course outlinesA Web application for aiding tutors to develop course outlines Σύντομη Δημοσίευση σε Συνέδριο Conference Short Paper 2019-09-032019enIn 2011, the Hellenic Quality Assurance and Accreditation Agency prepared and distributed a course outline template, in paper format, to be filled in by the university tutors. This template contains details about learning outcomes, generic skills, teaching and assessment procedures for each course. The teaching staff, having little knowledge on the aforementioned topics, faced serious difficulties in filling it in. Thus, we developed a web-based information system for outlining courses in our institution. It guides the user (tutor) step-by-step to properly record, document and store every detail of a course, and export it to a pdf file. Additionally, by recording the information in a database, it allows any kind of queries, thus it offers various statistics in university/school/departmental level on the usage of verbs of the Bloom’s taxonomy, about the nurtured generic skills, about the students’ workload per course, etc. The system is user-friendly, according to the results of a short survey, and it is fully expandable. This paper focuses on the presentation of the web-based system application along with the benefits it introduces firstly for the tutors and secondly for the quality assurance team of the university.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/11th International Conference on Computer Supported EducationSpanoudakis_et_al_CSEDU_2019.pdfChania [Greece]Library of TUC2019-09-02application/pdf400.8 kBfree Spanoudakis Nikolaos Σπανουδακης Νικολαος Krasadaki-Mitsotaki Evangelia Κρασαδακη-Μητσοτακη Ευαγγελια Pialoglou Aliki Πιαλογλου Αλικη Matsatsinis Nikolaos Ματσατσινης Νικολαος Student assessment Web application Generic skills Bloom’s taxonomy of learning Learning outcomes Course outline Quality assurance Higher education
