ABSEL Contribution to the Assurance of the Quality of Learning

Abstract

The objectives of the initial workshop were to conduct an ice-breaker event and to build awareness among ABSEL community with respect to assurance of the quality of learning. After the workshop, the authors collected the papers where people noted their ideas, and analyzed the content using qualitative key words in context analysis.
