CALOHE2 (2020-2021)

The project Measuring and Comparing Achievements of Learning Outcomes in Higher Education in Europe – Phase 2 (CALOHE2) is the second phase in the creation of a framework to test the performance of higher education students across Europe. The project builds on the outcomes of the first phase (CALOHEE).

Central to the project is the development of internationally recognised Programme Learning Outcome assessments (PLOs). Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) will be able to use these external measurement tools to determine if students have achieved the learning outcomes that are intended for a certain bachelor’s or master’s programme.

An internationally recognised PLO assessment framework will benefit students, HEIs, employers and society as a whole. It will create a level playing field for HEIs, as public trust in the quality of study programmes will come to rely on the evidence generated through the external PLO assessment.

Activities

The following activities will be conducted under the CALOHE2 project:

  • The PLOs of higher education programmes currently offered at higher education institutions will be investigated and matched with the previously developed CALOHEE Frameworks.
  • Best practices in the assessment of programme learning outcomes will be collected.
  • Further international agreement will be built with regard to the CALOHEE Reference Qualifications Frameworks.
