What is eQSF?
eQSF is a new Quality Standards Framework for ICT in Learning. The easy-to-use self-assessment tool allows training and education providers to review and improve their practice in using information technology in training and education. The framework consists of 13 interrelated standards that describe effective education provision using ICT.
eQSF is the result of collaboration between 6 European partners in a project funded under the European Commission Lifelong Learning Programme:
- fit (Fast track to IT – ROI) – Project Co-ordinator
- EGSA
- North West Regional College
- Formater (Italy)
- Foundation for Cardiac Surgery Development (Poland)
- City of Dublin VEC
eQSF was launched in December 2010 at a European conference in Dublin. The conference was opened by Minister Sean Haughey, TD, Minister of State at the Department for Education and Skills.
