Stratagia has just completed another project for Ofqual to review 750 units submitted to the QCF during the past year. Subject to agreement from Ofqual, results will be posted here shortly.

Building upon our past experience in similar projects, we were able to improve the efficiency, reliability and effectiveness of the process by using a new web-based review tool developed for the purpose. The tool provided a split screen, showing the full unit content and the review questionnaire. The results were then available for internal and external quality assurance and feedback to the reviewer if necessary. We’ll be making a version of this tool available to Awarding Organisations and other submitting bodies shortly.

But the most beneficial part of the exercise was increasing our understanding of those aspects of unit development that are causing most problems for submitting organisations and the ways in which they can be addressed. All of this will inform the next series of workshops that will take place in May and June.
