Student feedback surveys are an important tool that should support teachers in the development of pedagogical skills and course delivery. They should motivate teachers to keep improving and help identify the measures that would help students to learn even more effectively.
Yet, the feedback often ends up being used primarily by management when deciding on which courses and/or teacher positions should be maintained, and by prospective students when choosing between available courses.

eAssessment in VET
While the use of ICT is becoming increasingly common in instruction, the use of ICT to assess learning is lagging. eASSESSMENT is an EU co-funded project looking at the use of ICT in VET. However the toolbox which will be designed will be useful across the board. We are collecting data at all levels of education in order to document current practices related to the use of ICT for assessment and to detect needs in that domain.
