Activity1.1Methodology for Course Comparison

• University and Discipline settings– university and discipline/major profile

• Course settings– BSc/MSc, prerequisites/outcomes, ECTS, course structure (activities),

competencies (SEFI)

• Teaching factors– content, pedagogy, assessment

• Use of ICT/TEL– tools, supported activities, mandatory/optional, e-Learning/…

• Course statistics– demographics, in/out, grade distribution

• Available Resources– teaching hours, teaching assistants, computer labs, …

WP2 Progress

• Active 2.1: Courses are selected• Activity 2.2: First discussion of

– Curricula modernisation– Math teaching materials selection

will be done in Kazan (08-10/12/14)• Activity 2.3: EU Expert Evaluation is planned:

– 22/01/2015 – 23/01/2015 >> Tampere University of Technology

– 12.03.2015 – 13.03.2015 >> Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1• Activity 2.4: National expert evaluation is planned:

– June, 2015 >> LETI

WP3 Progress• Activity 3.1 Technical capacity building– Equipment has been purchased in LETI, NNSU, KNRTU (TSU and

OMSU will purchase it in Spring, 2015)– Administrators will be trained together with teachers

• Activity 3.2 Content localization– Planned for Fall, 2015

• Activity 3.3 Math-Bridge localization, installation and testing– Started, will be finished in Soring, 2015

• Activity 3.4 University teachers training– Planned for Summer, Fall, 2015

WP4 Progress• Activity 4.1 Evaluation methodology

– Will be ready in January, 2015• Activity 4.2 Two semester pilot implementation

– For Spring semesters will happen in Spring 2015 – Spring 2016– For Fall semesters will happen in Fall 2015 – Fall 2016

• Activity 4.3 Processing and presentation of the evaluation results– Planned for winter 2016-2017*

• Activity 4.4 Post-evaluation update for the curricula and accreditation preparation– Planned for winter 2016-2017*

* Yes, we are planning for an extension (~3 months). The project acceptance/paperwork was delayed, therefore, we have to run the evaluation for another semester

Activity 5.1Regional website "Mathematics and Statistics for Technical and Engineering Education in Russia”

• 1st version is ready: www.metamath.eu• It will be modified during the 2nd year from the

project siteinto the portal

WP5: further progress

• Activity 5.2 Annual project workshops– Year 1: Kazan (8-10/12/12014)

• Activity 5.3 Traditional dissemination– Ongoing

• Activity 5.4 Final Project Conference– Planned in LETI at the end of 2016

• Activity 5.5 Revision of national standards and accreditation– AEER will lead. Planned for 2016

Activity 6.1Quality Control Framework

• Set up a Quality Control Work Force (QCWF) as a group of 3 experts (from USAAR, LETI and AEER)– Established

• Development and control of the system of internal indicators of progress (included into annual reports)– Will start working on it post-WP1

• Quality control of the principle deliverables– Not ready

• Design and implementation of inter-project surveys– First survey has been administered in Fall, 2014

• Event organization quality control procedures– Complete (available at proejct.metamath.eu)

Activity 6.2Project Management Framework

• Collective decision making body (Project Coordination Board)– Established

• Internal 3-monthly reporting in accordance with the developed templates– For tasks will be implemented post-WP1– For meetings - working
