Content types
The repository consists of three types of reports:
- Education reports
- Evaluations
- Other
Education reports are annual reports on quality in education by the departments, faculties and the institutional level. Evaluations are reports on individual courses and programmes, conducted at regular intervals. Education reports and evaluations are central requirements of the University of Bergen's quality assurance system, anchored in the Handbook for Quality Assurance of University Education. “Other” consists of reports on quality of education not described by the Quality Assurance Handbook.
Education reports are registered by organizational units. Evaluation reports are registered by courses or programmes. Other documents should be registered by the type of unit relevant for the report (organizational unit, programme or course).
Uploading reports
- In the main page,
- Select a year in the drop down list above the navigation pane. The year should refer to the (last) period covered by the report, not the year of report publishing. E.g, for a report written in January 2011 on a course held in the autumn term 2010, select 2010.
- Use the navigation pane to select the relevant organizational level and/or unit. Organizational sub units and associated courses and programmes are displayed in the results pane below the navigation pane.
