In December 2009, the network published its first report, University awards and the National Framework of Qualifications: Issues around the design of programmes and the use and assessment of learning outcomes.

The report is the culmination of activities of three working groups who explored a selection of topics, identified by network members as priority project areas in the implementation of the National Framework of Qualifications. The topics identified are set out below. Click on each for information on the topic, the activities of each working group and their membership.

• Technical aspects of designing and redesigning programmes / awards for inclusion in the National Framework of Qualifications (NFQ);
• Designing and supporting the design of discipline specific learning outcomes; and
• Designing effective assessment to enable the demonstration of the attainment of learning outcomes.

The final report of the network is available to view here.
