What is happening in Quality Assurance at UB?

Faculty Professional Development Workshops,
Semester I

The Quality Assurance Office (QAO) had arranged a total of 7 workshops to be conducted in semester I of the current academic year Belize City Campus, Belmopan Campus, and Toledo Campus in Academic Year 2010-2011, semester 1. The themes for the workshops are: Moodle Learning Management System, IT Communication in Classroom, and Course Assessment and Evaluation. These topics were selected based on a faculty survey done by the office in June. All full time faculty members are required to attend at least one workshop per semester. Part time faculty members are also welcome. For schedule of the workshops, please refer to the QAO Calendar at the bottom of the page.

Program Specification Review Workshops

The QAO is facilitating the review of Program Specification (PS) documents. Each faculty will have a one day workshop to review its PS documents. We aim to have these documents reviewed by the end of semester 1 of the current academic year. By doing this, we hope to firm up the linkages between program Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs) and course ILOs as well as to familiarize faculty members with the use of the PS documents. For the schedule of the workshops, please refer to the QAO Calendar at the bottom of the page.

Program Review 2010-2011

In this academic year, the QAO plans to coordinate the formal evaluation of ten academic programs. These are: Associate Degree and Bachelor Degree in English, Associate Degree in Business Science, Bachelor Degree in Management, Associate Degree in Building and Civil Engineering, Associate Degree and Bachelor Degree in Information Technology, Certificate Program in Nursing, Bachelor Degree in Nursing, and Certificate of English as Second Language. The reviews are led by all full-time faculty members of the program, with input from UB stakeholders, technical support from QAO, and external reviewers within and outside of Belize. QAO aims to facilitate the review of ten academic programs each year.

New Program Development Protocol (upcoming)

QAO drafted and the Quality Assurance Committee has reviewed UB’s New Program Development Protocol. The protocol has been submitted to the Academic Council for further review. We expect to finalize the protocol fairly soon and to use it to help promote quality and sustainable programs.

QAO wishes to express its appreciation to all the parties involved in improving the quality of the University of Belize. As we works towards a better UB, we are glad that you are there to support us along the way. For more information or general comments on QAO and its planned activities, please send an email to: qa@ub.edu.bz or contact our office in Belmopan Campus, 822-1000.
