CALOHEA Compilations of Inspirational Examples prepared specifically for ASEAN higher ed institutions

The CALOHEA (Measuring and Comparing Achievements of Learning Outcomes in Higher Education in Asia) is an international collaboration with other higher education institutions in Southeast Asia including the West Visayas State University with the University of Groningen at the helm and the ASEAN University Network as partner.

The objective of CALOHEA is to contribute to the internationalization of higher education institutions through developing a series of interrelated measures indispensable for improving recognition of higher education degree.

While authentic assessment is key if you want to prepare industry-ready graduates and make sure your students achieve complex learning outcomes, many academics believe that authentic assessment is very difficult, time-consuming, and even expensive to implement.

To show that this is not necessarily the case, CALOHEA experts from seven ASEAN countries have created compilations of Inspirational Examples – ranging from more daring options to those that every academic can easily introduce in their course, regardless of the class size and financial limitations.

Visit the CALOHEA website to consult or download the 3 compilations – one for Medicine, one for Teacher education and one for Civil Engineering: https://calohea.org/

The CALOHEA Erasmus+ project is coordinated by the Tuning Academy of the University of Groningen (the Netherlands) and the ASEAN University Network and is co-funded by the European Commission.
