    Report summary

    Based on the written documentation and the informed interviews the group of experts finds that the Department of Landscape Architecture at the Biotechnical faculty has a wellfunctioning quality culture grounded in their small size and open-door policy. The department provides a study environment where teachers and students feel that they are close and can easily get in a dialogue with each other to influence the mode of teaching, day by day. It is a joint impression by both students, teachers and management that it is easy to develop/change the study conditions for the better, through student evaluations and direct oral feedback. 26 The study at the Landscape Architecture department is split in the BSc and MSc level, emphasizing on design and planning, respectively. The group of experts finds the last year’s improved self-evaluation reports to be useful documents to keep track of the evaluation feedback, needs, improvements and actions, but the reports from the previous several years were too similar from year to year and from level to level to function as a real monitoring and development tool. However, it seems that the size and close dialogue have provided a well-functioning study environment that has detected and acted on the shortcomings and improvement along the way, despite a poor self-evaluation process. Even though the latest self-evaluation reports have significantly improved, there is still a lot of space for improvement and the group of experts hopes, that the suggestions given in this report will be of some help. The management expressed how they consider the self-evaluation report of a study program as an internal short-term plan and they operate with a separate action plan made at the faculty level, informed by the work of the self-evaluation plans on the department level. This shows how there is also a dialogue from the department level upwards, but the group of experts considers that students should be more involved both in the assessment and decision process in the work with the self-evaluation report on the department level and that the implications and action plans should be better communicated back to both students and teachers. In recent years, the department has made some revisions in the study plan (inclusions of new elective courses) amongst other things to strengthen the collaboration with external stakeholders. The group of experts heard from both students and teachers as well as employers that students have acquired updated skills, are fluent in graphic languages and knowledgeable on topics like sustainability and mobility. The group of experts sympathizes with their expressed interest in engaging practicing landscape architects as studio-teachers to better link education with practice, similar to how the Architecture Faculty is allowed to. This could further strengthen the relevance of education and enable detecting urgencies in close collaboration with the profession.

    Report summary

    A group of experts in accordance with recommendations carried out the external evaluation of the Faculty of Health Sciences and the three study programs (Nursing - 1st cycle, Nursing - 2nd cycle, Laboratory Dental Prosthetics 1st - cycle) and criteria set by the Slovenian Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (SQAA). Faculty meets the requirements in all five standards of assessment. The opinion of group of experts is that faculty is a wellorganized higher education institution that puts a lot of efforts in continuous improvement of all fields of its activities. As a member of the University of Ljubljana, faculty accepts all rules and regulations from the University and prescribes its own rules in accordance with them. The quality assurance system (QAS) was, until its introduction, continuously improved with consequential acceptance of quality culture and the awareness of its importance in all relevant stakeholder groups. Each year self-evaluation procedure is performed and their conclusions serve as a starting point for action plan for future period. The contents of this document is comprehensive and summarize results from surveys and interviews with all stakeholders included in all activities of the faculty. The main objectives of annual self-evaluation reports are education, research, quality assurance and management. The annual self-evaluation reports are creating by different parties (teachers and associates, departments, study program coordinators, professional support employees, and students) and every party give their opinion regarding the performance during the past period and suggestions for future one. The quality assurance committee analyses those partial reports and merge them into the final document. Afterwards, the faculty’s Senate discusses the document, gives its approval, and accepts it. All the parties included in creating the document got feedback information about conclusions of the report. The evaluation visit was performed on-line due to an epidemiological situation connected with COVID-19 pandemics. Group of experts has got from the faculty a long list of documents necessary for evaluation that, together with answers got during interviews with relevant groups of stakeholders, served as a basis for evaluation of the institution and study programs evaluated. The disadvantage of such approach was that group of experts did not have the opportunity to witness the actual material and other conditions on-site. However, the above-mentioned elements have enabled group of experts to get pretty good insight in the functioning of the faculty and its activities. The group of experts got the impression that faculty and all stakeholders involved (management, teachers and associates, professional support employees, and students) are very interested and dedicated to the performance and quality improvement of educational process. In this regard, there are well-established protocols of information flow and communication between different stakeholder groups in both, formal and informal way. However, experts think that not all of the involved stakeholders are equally familiar with all of their rights and responsibilities. Nevertheless, the overall impression is that education is performing in a successful way and that there are noticeable improvements every year. Management of the faculty encourages all the efforts in that direction. They are trying a lot to improve teaching and working conditions (including material and ICT) for both, students and employees. From previously mentioned sources, group of experts got the impression that research activity at the faculty has some challenges to deal with in the future. Although there are evidences that research activity is improving over time, experts think that high teaching burden of teachers and especially younger colleagues represents an obstacle for greater research productivity and greater inclusion of students in the research. Currently, there are 28 active projects at the faculty. Most of them are not thematically connected with the analyzed study programs. Group of experts believes that the increase in number of thematically adjusted projects is needed since their results and findings would enable greater transfer of research knowledge into the teaching process and would help the process of teaching staff renewal. Finally, group of experts concluded that a number of advantages and examples of good practice characterizes both, Faculty of Health Sciences and the analyzed study programs. On the other hand, there are some topics that should be improved in future with regard to ensure future development and better positioning of faculty and its programs in wider educational and research area. We would like to thank all those who have put efforts that this virtual visit to faculty has passed at a very high level: Mr. Klemen Šubic - NAKVIS expert, faculty management and all other stakeholders for constructive cooperation in interviews. Since this evaluation took place on-line, the efforts for successful implementation to all participating parties were even greater.

Verifiable Credentials

A Verifiable Credential (VC) is a digitally-signed and thus tamper-evident document containing information on a subject (e.g. personal information, entitlements of an individual, degrees held by an individual or accreditation of a higher education institution). Quality assurance results recorded in DEQAR can be downloaded as W3C-compatible Verifiable Credentials.

Currently, two types of credentials can be issued:

EBSI Verifiable Accreditations (VA) can be used by a higher education institution in the context of the EBSI Early Adopters programme.

  • The VA allows the institution to prove its external quality assurance on the Trusted Issuer Registry (TIR). EBSI VAs are only issued for external quality assurance results with an official status in a national system (“part of obligatory EQA system”).
  • At present, the higher education institution’s EBSI DID needs to be communicated to EQAR and recorded in DEQAR manually at the moment. If you are a higher education institution participating in EBSI, please contact us to register your DID.
  • EBSI VAs are issued by EQAR under its DID did:ebsi:zk4bhCepWSYp9RhZkRPiwUL.

DEQAR Format Verifiable Credentials primarily serve as a proof of concept and public demonstrator currently.

  • DEQAR Format VCs are based on the plain W3C Recommendation and our own data model. While they closely follow the EBSI Schema, no EBSI-specific or EU-specific elements or data types are used.
  • The higher education institution is identified by its DEQAR URI in this case.
  • DEQAR Format VCs are issued by EQAR under its DID did:web:data.deqar.eu.

Please note: this is an experimental feature.
