@inproceedings { , title = {Aligning quality assurance at the course unit and educational program levels.}, abstract = {Quality assurance is a subject that has grown dramatically in importance in recent times. In previous work, we have described how the ACM Curricula can be used to support the Quality Assurance process of educational programs, using the Computer Science program at Reykjavik University as an example. Faculty members and employers of graduates participated in the process, that resulted in providing both detailed quantitative data and qualitative information. The assessment also raised awareness of how abstract topics and learning outcomes from an international standard can be used when revising the curricula of a particular course in a CS program. Quality assurance is indeed a continuous process, where the results of evaluations should be used to drive improvements. In this paper we focus on how a Database course was re-structured based on a recent quality assurance process.}, conference = {IEEE frontiers in education 2016 conference (FIE 2016): the crossroads of engineering and business}, doi = {10.1109/FIE.2016.7757419}, isbn = {9781509017904}, issn = {0190-5848}, note = {COMPLETED -- Rec'd doc from contact 17/2/2017 LM -- Info via WoS alert 16/2/2017 LM ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: McDermott, Roger -- Panel B}, publicationstatus = {Published}, publisher = {Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/10059/2178}, keyword = {Computing Education, Pedagogy, Educational quality assurance, Curriculum design, ACM curriculum, Database course}, year = {2016}, author = {Jónsson, Björn Þór and Lárusdóttir, Marta Kristín and Daniels, Mats and Clear, Alison and Clear, Tony and McDermott, Roger} }
