The development of software in radiation oncology departments has seen the increase in capability from the Record and Verify software focused on patient safety to a fully-fledged Oncology Information System (OIS). This paper reports on the medical aspects of the implementation of a modern Oncology Information System (IMPAC MultiAccess®, also known as the Siemens LANTIS®) in a New Zealand hospital oncology department. The department was successful in translating paper procedures into electronic procedures, and the report focuses on the changes in approach to organisation and data use that occurred. The difficulties that were faced, which included procedural re-design, management of change, removal of paper, implementation cost, integration with the HIS, quality assurance and datasets, are highlighted along with the local solutions developed to overcome these problems.

This paper describes the lessons from scaling up a verbal autopsy (VA) intervention to improve data about causes of death according to a nine-domain framework: governance, design, operations, human resources, financing, infrastructure, logistics, information technologies and data quality assurance. We use experiences from China, Myanmar, Papua New Guinea, Philippines and Solomon Islands to explore how VA has been successfully implemented in different contexts, to guide other countries in their VA implementation. The governance structure for VA implementation comprised a multidisciplinary team of technical experts, implementers and staff at different levels within ministries. A staged approach to VA implementation involved scoping and mapping of death registration processes, followed by pretest and pilot phases which allowed for redesign before a phased scale-up. Existing health workforce in countries were trained to conduct the VA interviews as part of their routine role. Costs included training and compensation for the VA interviewers, information technology (IT) infrastructure costs, advocacy and dissemination, which were borne by the funding agency in early stages of implementation. The complexity of the necessary infrastructure, logistics and IT support required for VA increased with scale-up. Quality assurance was built into the different phases of the implementation. VA as a source of cause of death data for community deaths will be needed for some time. With the right technical and political support, countries can scale up this intervention to ensure ongoing collection of quality and timely information on community deaths for use in health planning and better monitoring of national and global health goals.

Open education becomes the important approach for education in the digital age and it plays a significant role in broadening educational access and increasing higher educational opportunities. The author of the chapter considers the basic principles and emerging trends in quality assurance of distance higher education in the digital age. Considering the intelligent distance education system as a dynamic, time-developing system, one can speak of the underlying computer imitation model that has an independent theoretical and practical value. The objective of this chapter is to explore how can information technologies influence the distance education quality assurance, specifically, to develop a conceptual framework for the intelligent distance education system. In addition to direct application for educational quality management system's evaluation, the simulation model can be used to solve a much wider range of tasks: forecasting, risk assessment, rating of courses, individual teachers, and individual institutions.

Organizational Innovations

The article deals with the problem of modern approaches to teacher training in the context of its quality assurance. The concept of ‘innovation’ is defined and the system of classification is introduced on the grounds of the analysis of scientific and pedagogical resources. Ensuring qualitative education means innovative processes of pedagogical practice development, as well as purposeful managerial influence on the system of professional training, significant corrections of its content and way of performance of pedagogical intuitions, i.e. educational system transferring to perform on new grounds. Organizational innovations happening in the organization of the educational process of higher education institutions are analyzed alongside content innovations reflected in the content of teacher training (new educational programmes, introduction of new disciplines, modern courses, integration of subjects, development of methodologies, etc.). Technological innovations include introducing new teaching forms and methods, assessment approaches (testing, rating); use of modern information technologies in the process of teacher training. Building professional competency, individual and professional qualities, the capacity to work and live in an innovative pace is exclusively important for future teachers. Effective forms and methods of teaching future teachers are introduced.

Education Quality Assurance

One of the key issues of the EU educational policy is quality assurance. The presented research represents a contribution to solving the issue of quality assurance of informatics education on the tertiary level of education in economy and managerial study fields. Within the research current state of informatics education in selected economy and managerial study programmes was analysed based on students` views and opinions. Necessary research data were collected through questionnaire survey respondents, who were students of the relevant study programmes in the Slovak and Czech Republics. The paper presents in more detail results of the questionnaire part which was focused on finding out how the students evaluate informatics education incorporated in their pre-graduate education considering its relevance to their study and career profiles. Another task of the research was to find out whether the students` evaluations depend on their gender and study specializations, and also whether there are some differences in the evaluations done by the students of the same or at least similar study programmes studying either in Slovakia or in the Czech Republic. As the results showed, students of the economy and managerial study programmes do not connect their future career with the information technologies and they do not have ambitions to be employed in the IT area. But at the same time, they are aware of the fact that the knowledge and skills obtained within their informatics preparation are important for their everyday life and future career. On the other hand, they are not satisfied with the quality of the informatics subjects they are taught. So, to assure the quality of their pre-gradual preparation does not mean only to innovate curricula of the informatics preparation but also to deal with the issues of an efficient transfer of these curricula content to students. Keywords: tertiary education, informatics education, curricula innovation, evaluation of the education, quality assurance, career profiles.

Information technologies provide unique opportunities for higher education faculty to rethink the resources that are available to re-envision their pedagogical techniques. One such promise is the ability of the faculty member to invite virtual guest speakers or experts into the graduate course through web-based conferencing. The virtual guest can host asynchronous interactive discussions with students in the course for a specified period of time. These technologies provide students with the ability to interact with guests in new ways by expressing individual concerns and discussing them without time and place constraints. This paper describes in quantitative and qualitative terms one such experience in a graduate course where three virtual guests were invited to interact with the students over the eleven-week course.

The article represents the diagnostic and analytical results of the research on learning outcomes for PhD level within the subject area «Higher education quality and its expert support: Ukraine’s movement towards the European Union» at Borys Grinchenko Kyiv University (Ukraine). A generalised description of competences and learning outcomes for PhD students was developed. This paper made use of a small-scale research – a questioning of the PhD students. 40 PhD students have been questioned from different specialities. The results of the survey are described in knowledge and skills, which development level is determined by the descriptive scale. It was important to focus on the mastery of such knowledge by graduate students as: basic terms and definitions; theoretical issues of the subject under study; legal dimension quality assurance of higher education; laws and peculiarities on quality evaluation assessment; official regulations and mechanisms that ensure the quality of programs and certificates in the higher education institution; principles, the revised ESG are based on; the European standards and guidelines for internal quality assurance in higher educational institutions; internal (External) monitoring of the quality of higher education in EU countries; the model and criteria for the evaluation of educational programmes. The content of the lessons from the module was aimed at the development of such skills: to identify and analyze the main trends in quality assurance in Europe; to evaluate European context for external quality assurance; to interpret the main principles for QA in Europe; to comment on principles of quality as integrated patterns of quality culture; differences between quality assurance and rankings; to apply different research methods and information technologies in practical situations; to participate in the work of multidisciplinary educational projects. A separate aspect of the survey is the assessment of the satisfaction level of classes content and organization by the PhD students. The training is considered as a tool for professional development, increasing the effectiveness of learning outcomes. The article gives an overview of the steps necessary to improve the quality of project implementation and module learning outcomes.
