EVALUATION CRITERIA

Assessment will be carried out continuously throughout the course and, in each unit or training action that makes it up, through the accompaniment and monitoring by the teacher of the daily work of the participants, the carrying out of practical cases and their participation during the training sessions. This must allow the training progress of the student to be gauged. 

The evaluation process will culminate in a test at the end of each unit or training action, which will consist of a multiple-choice test and a practical case study related to the subject matter of the course. 

Weighting for the overall assessment: 

Assistance:	15 %
Attitude towards work:	20 %
Test results and theoretical tests:	15 %
Practical tests:	50 %

In addition, at the end of each training course, the following will take place an assessment questionnaire to know the student's perspective on the degree of achievement of the objectives, the didactic process, the understanding of the subject and the suitability of the contents.

Did you know that on Thursday World Accessibility Awareness Day is celebrated on 16 May.? This day aims to encourage dialogue, reflection and learning about accessibility in digital technologies.

In this webinar, we will share knowledge on the synergies needed between design and development to ensure that technology to be inclusive and beneficial to all peopleregardless of their capabilities or limitations. Join us to be inspired, learn and reflect on how we can work together to build a more accessible and equitable digital world.

The universal accessibility is the characteristic that environments, processes, goods, products and services, objects and devices must fulfil, so that they can be used and understood by all people in the safest, most comfortable and autonomous way possible. It is fundamental for people with disabilities to live independently, participate in society and have the same opportunities as others.. Accessibility is based on universal design, as defined in the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

Looking for an effective way to drive continuous improvement in your team? The Toyota Kata technique could be the answer you are looking for. Developed by Toyota, this methodology has become a benchmark in project management and process improvement.

Toyota Kata is based on the idea that consistent practice of small routines can lead to big results. By encouraging critical thinking, problem solving and controlled experimentation, this technique empowers teams to deal effectively with challenges and achieve higher levels of performance.

In this VASS University session in collaboration with EVERGREENPM we will focus on risk identification, analysis and management. And we will compete between teams through of the Project Risk Board Game.

Some of the main benefits of the Toyota Kata include:

• Promotes a culture of continuous improvement in the organisation.
• It facilitates the identification and solution of problems in a systematic way.
• It encourages innovation and creativity at all levels.
• Improve communication and collaboration within the team.
