Unleashing the power of Qualitative Data for Quality Assurance

Fostering Student Engagement through AI-driven qualitative Quality Assurance Practices (Qual-AI-ty Engagement) aims to empower QA staff to take a more proactive role in fostering student engagement. It aims to do so by leveraging AI resources to acquire and process qualitative data, thus enhancing the efficiency and creating the culture of quality for student engagement.

WHY

There is a growing urgency for fostering student engagement with society as a sign of University Quality, due to its positive effects on every nation's active citizenship, human and economic development. However, universities have been often perceived as not taking a proactive role in engaging more with society-related issues.

Generating visibility of the positive impacts that engagement with society brings to student's perceptions of university quality, by breaking the old tradition of quality measurement and focusing on a qualitative assessment of these perceptions in order to gain more human and deeper insights that just plain numbers cannot provide.

HOW

WHAT
