Building on its international partnerships, HKCAAVQ continues its
effort in collaborating with overseas quality assurance agencies in
safeguarding the quality provision of transnational education. Such
an example is the “Quality Beyond Boundaries” (QBB) Group that
we have participated in since 2013. The aim of the QBB Group is
to develop a zone of trust among the partners that constitute the
foundation for sharing information, QA practices, reviewers, and
to explore concrete ways to facilitate joint quality assurance of
transnational education.
In the year under review, HKCAAVQ participated in 14 international
conferences and delivered speeches in four of the conferences
to share our expertise, i.e. Educating Online in South East Asia: A
workshop for higher education policy makers and practitioners in
May 2015, the ASEAN Quality Assurance Network Seminar and
Roundtable Meeting in September 2015 themed “Quality Assurance
in ASEAN: Issues, Challenges and Outcomes” and a global
conference titled “The New Landscape of Higher Education” by the
Observatory on Borderless Higher Education (OBHE) in London
in December 2015. These events provided valuable opportunities
to exchange information, experiences and best practices with QA
practitioners around the world.
HKCAAVQ received a number of international delegations from
government authorities, quality assurance agencies and education
institutions including Ningbo Education Bureau, Fiji Higher Education
Commission and Jiangsu Open University.
In July 2015, our staff joined a delegation of the Education Bureau to
New Zealand that met with the New Zealand Qualifications Authority
(NZQA) to discuss plans for referencing the HKQF and the New
Zealand Qualifications Framework (NZQF) and other collaborative
projects.
