General discussion and feedback
I'm impressed by the work that has been done on developing the credit recognition and transfer process and guidelines. To facilitate cross national and institutional usability may be useful to develop acompaniing glossary of terms and definitions. For example - substantive changes to a course may be interperted differently by different quality assurance frameworks so will be good to define. I'm sure has been alredy considered and will be developed :)
Hi Vasi,
Yes-- good point and I agree, we need a definition of substantive change.
Within the New Zealand context and qualification framework, how would you define a substantive change? Would you like to propose a tentative definition for discussion?
Hi Wayne, i'm only familiar with NZQA rules and definitions and this is how they define minor - Type 1 and substantive - Type 2 changes. “Type 1 change” means one or more changes to components of an approved programme which do not impact on the programme as a whole: “Type 2 change” means one or more changes to components of an approved programme which do have an impact on the programme as a whole: More deteal can be found here; [ NZQF Programme Approval and Accreditation Rules http://www.nzqa.govt.nz/assets/About-us/Consultations-and-reviews/Rules-NZQF-listing-programme-approval/consult-rules-programme-app.doc]
