Project activities

Every six months, a transnational project meeting is held that is be attended by all project partners to discuss the progress of the project. The agenda of the meetings depends on the specific phase of the project, but there was a kick off meeting at the beginning of the project period, and there will be a final meeting at the end of the project period.

Six transnational project meetings are be hosted during the project’s life-time (including the kick-off meeting at the start of the project and the evaluation meeting at the end.) The purpose of the meetings is be to discuss and establish the projects’ progress in regard to its content, to evaluate the process of the project and to discuss follow-up activities. It is an iterative and constructive process: project outcomes depend on the results of several activities and based on mutual involvement and knowledge exchange. Should any conflict or unforeseen situations arise during the project which cannot be resolved through video conferencing, the transnational meetings also serve as a conflict resolving forum. The transnational meetings are hosted alternatingly in one of the participating countries. To discuss, clarify and to further define the objectives and topics, a kick-off meeting was be organised in Luxembourg. The evaluation meeting, combined with the multiplier event in Rotterdam, will be used to closure this project and to discuss further joint ventures, building on the outcomes of this project.

Planning

January 2017
Kick-off meeting, clarifying and fine tuning the intended learning outcomes of the programme

February 2017-May 2017
Designing the programme in detail, related to the intended learning outcomes and appropriate assessment methods. This means developing the intellectual outputs. After completion the intended learning outcomes will be evaluated and if necessary parts of the programme will be fine-tuned. During this period a technical blue print of the App will be designed.

June 2017-August 2017
Preparing the pilot phase. Administration and course material.

September 2017-August 2018
Testing the intellectual outputs (module 1-2) in each local educational programme in the pilot year. In the same period the technical design of the App will be made and programmed. The legal content for the App will be developed as well.

September 2018 – April 2019
Evaluating the pilot modules 1-2 and fine tuning the modules 1-2 after evaluation and where necessary adjustment of the modules. Elaborate testing of the App and preparation and testing in one of the partner universities (the Netherlands).

May 2019-August 2019
Extensive evaluation of the programme (both the modules, student satisfactory, the project collaboration), final adjustments to the programme for sustainable and future collaboration, adjustments of the App. Preparations will be made for a conference on SENSE.
