Virtual campus for SMEs in a multicultural milieu LLP HU-ERASMUS-EVC Work packages 1. Work package 1. - General Project Management This work package includes the project management and financial management activities, and the interim and final reporting. The leader partner in these tasks is the Contractor Budapest Business School. Tasks: Task 1.1: Planning and Evaluating Task 1.2: Project management Task 1.3: Reporting Task 1.4: Conception of the first adult courses Results / products: Detailed Work Plan with Milestones and the Detailed Budget Interim and Final Reports Conceiving adult SME competency courses constructed from already existing and new modules Some words about the work packages of the project. Péter more or less has dealt with the professional part of the project, and the work packages, which are concerning to those. Planning and Evaluating – it is the main task of the managerial meetings, evaluating the completed activities, compared to the timetable and the agreed quality measures, and planning the activities for the future. Project management means continuous co-ordination of the expert work. Reporting means on the one hand a report on the expert work, and on the other hand a financial report, documentation of the spent amounts. Conception of the first adults courses – it is Péter’s desk. Péter Soltész, Project manager & László Varga, Co-ordinator

Virtual campus for SMEs in a multicultural milieu LLP HU-ERASMUS-EVC Work packages 2. Work package 2. – Course Development This work package includes the task of the setting up of 12 teaching material developer teams with 1-1 teacher/expert from each of the 4 higher educational institutions, the definition of the content lists of the modules, the development of the curricula, the e-Learning / bLearning development of these teaching materials. 5 modules from the former ERASMUS project will be revised. (The expert quadrangles will devote time to a future deepening of the contents in order to open the way for thinking about the conception of a third cycle in SME training.) Tasks: Task 2.1: Creation of quadrangles Task 2.2: Preparing Short Content Papers Task 2.3: Training Material Development Task 2.4: e-Learning development Results / products: Short Content Papers Course modules in traditional (and in script) form e-Learning course modules Course development is the most important one from the packages. It consists the expert work, from the preparation of Content Papers to the completion of the e-Learning teaching materials. I’m dealing with this in details in this presentation. Péter Soltész, Project manager & László Varga, Co-ordinator

Virtual campus for SMEs in a multicultural milieu LLP HU-ERASMUS-EVC Work packages 3. Work package 3. – Quality Management and Evaluation Full control (and tracking of tasks) for all the products/deliverables: Non conformance reviews and technical reviews of materials; Feedbacks from the national SME federations regarding the content of the modules; Ad hoc checking the curriculum developers’ work in the different quadrangles. Tasks: Review all materials; Collect and analyse feedback from training material developers; Check that all points found in reviews are refined in the materials; Results / products: Expert Evaluations - Expert Evaluations concerning each module with the participation of the local SME federations’ experts to ensure the high quality of deliverables/products Quality management is also important. We should pay attention to the quality of the materials, according to the requirements of the SME federations concerning the different modules, and the quality of the work, of the quadrangles – keeping of the deadlines, and so on. It can be part of the project management work – instead of the requirements and evaluation of the SME federations. We had to separate it according to the requirements of the European Commission for the project proposal. Péter Soltész, Project manager & László Varga, Co-ordinator

Virtual campus for SMEs in a multicultural milieu LLP HU-ERASMUS-EVC Work packages 4. Work package 4. – Broad Dissemination and Workshops This work package together with WP5 will include the short term valorisation activities, the dissemination and broad announcement with leaflets, publications, national dissemination workshops and the final exploitation conference (one event in each participating country), the accreditation and the advertisement of the completed courses for SMEs in different levels (BA, MA, DOC) in all the 4 participating countries, helped locally by the national SME federations. Tasks: Task 4.1: Broad dissemination Task 2.: Workshops Results / products: A general website and four local sites Newsletters and a final publication According to the European Commission’s requirements as well we had to separate dissemination and exploitation, as Work package 4 and 5. It was a hard work to separate these tasks, which are closely related to each other. I suggest you to deal with them together. Dissemination and exploitation involve the dissemination workshops and the closing conference, these are a half day programmes connecting to the project meetings if it is possible. A dissemination workshop can be a good occasion to inform the environment of the institutions about the planned tasks and expected results of the project. Important tools should also be the local websites, the uploading of information and results is the task of the local co-ordinators. We planned with the preparation of a newsletter, or leaflet or flyer and a short final publication about the project’s results in all the 4 working languages. Péter Soltész, Project manager & László Varga, Co-ordinator

Virtual campus for SMEs in a multicultural milieu LLP HU-ERASMUS-EVC Work packages 5. Work package 5. – Exploitation - Accreditation Preparing advertising materials (written materials and advertising sequences broadcasted); Preparing the documentation for the submission of the accreditation requirement for the Master courses. Tasks: Conceiving courses, beyond the Master, (using the already existing modules and the new Master modules) tailored to special adult target groups; Introduction of the courses into the official curriculum system of the partner institutions; Exploitation conference; Advertising the courses, press releases, marketing/publicity materials. Results / products: Advertising materials Course development on the basis of the already prepared modules These printed documents could be also advertisement tools. In the latest months of the project duration important element of the management will be the preparation for Master course development and for the accreditation, if we managed to reach the expected results.

At the top of the chart is the project manager of the contractor Budapest Business School. He is Péter Soltész. At the next level there are the local project managers, they have also quality management and financial management tasks. In these tasks they can be helped by the Co-ordinators and Administrators. They belong to the project management. The leaders of the curriculum development work are the heads of the quadrangles. Every Higher Educational partners have 3 heads, and 9 members of the different teaching material development groups. Every partner should also denominate 5 people to partially existing modules from the former ERASMUS project. 3-3 experts participate the SME federations in the project together with the management of the federations. The indirectly participating 2 SME federations also have to del with the modules led by the local heads. Péter Soltész, Project manager & László Varga, Co-ordinator

Management model on Partner level: Project manager Quality manager Financial manager Co-ordinator Administrator Organisational chart on partner level. Every Higher Educational institution denominated a project manager, a co-ordinator and an administrator. BBS as Contractor has a financial manager and a quality manager, but the other partners’ management also have to deal with the quality management and financial tasks, first of all with the documentation of the spending. The Contractor’s financial manager and co-ordinator – it’s me – will direct the financial documentation and the preparation of the Reports to the European Commission.

Clear responsibilities are necessary on the basis of the experience of the former ERASMUS project. First of all in Hungary we had difficulties, we have bad experience – but it is a new project, a new situation, we have to learn from our failures. So as I said before every HE partners have 3 heads of quadrangles, all other partners delegate 1-1 person to the teaching material development teams. The SME federations draw their requirements, demands, suggestions for the Content, and evaluate the draft version of the teaching material in the traditional (WORD file) form – it is the responsibility of the SME federations’ managers or where the SMe federation participating indirectly in the project, it is the responsibility of the HE institutions’ managers. The project managers are also responsible for the work of the delegated heads or members, it is part of the quality management and supervision, as we emphasised before. Péter Soltész, Project manager & László Varga, Co-ordinator

Task and responsibilities
Virtual campus for SMEs in a multicultural milieu LLP HU-ERASMUS-EVC Task and responsibilities The heads of the quadrangles are responsible for: preparation of the curriculum in the working language of the module; preparation of the local specialities for comparison; co-ordination of the preparation of the comparative items; translation of the curriculum into English (if it is not the working language) and into the local language; recommendation to the b-Learning development; b-Learning development in the local language; The members of quadrangles are responsible for: participation in the preparation of the comparative items; translation of the curriculum into the local language (except the English partner); adaptation of the teaching material to the local language; b-Learning development in the local language according to the recommendation of the module leader; We would have liked to draw up clearly the task and responsibilities of the heads and members of the quadrangles. Translation of the curriculum into the local language (except the English partner) – because nearly all of the working language is English, and the English versions will be the basis for the translation, adaptation. Adaptation of the teaching material to the local language – emphasising the local specialities if it is necessary for the local teaching, and so on. Preparation of the comparative items – comparative item should mean a chapter, which will compare the local specialities concerning the topic of the module. The local specialities should be prepared by the members of the groups. Péter Soltész, Project manager & László Varga, Co-ordinator

Planned working method
Virtual campus for SMEs in a multicultural milieu LLP HU-ERASMUS-EVC Planned working method Drawing up the requirements of the SME Federations concerning the modules led by the local HE partner Preparation of the Content Paper led by the head of the quadrangle at the project meeting Co-operation between the members of the working groups by , phone or using of the project’s website (modules’ sites) if it is needed Development of the curriculum (in traditional form) in the working language of the quadrangle led by the head of the group Preparation of the national specialities by the members of the quadrangle Preparation of the comparative items led by the head of the group with the help of English experts Recommendations for the e-Learning development by the head of the quadrangle with the help of French experts Cross-checking of the module contents by the heads of the groups Checking and evaluation of the curriculum (draft versions) by the SME Federations’ experts E-learning (b-Learning) development in local languages by the members of the groups I think the conceived working is clear, Péter and I tried to work put it on the basis of the experiences of our former curriculum development projects. Péter Soltész, Project manager & László Varga, Co-ordinator

Planned volume of the modules
Virtual campus for SMEs in a multicultural milieu LLP HU-ERASMUS-EVC Planned volume of the modules Volume / Length of the curricula (in traditional form) – according to the credit points 6 credit points = pages long curriculum 5 credit points = pages long curriculum 3 credit points = pages long curriculum 2 credit points = pages long curriculum 1,5 credit points = pages long curriculum Making the curricula complete with pictures, tables, charts, diagrams, figures, links, etc. according to the recommendations of the heads of the quadrangles According to the curriculum development work in the former ERASMUS project we tried to define the volume, length of the curricula in the traditional WORD file form. In the former project 5 credit points were equal with an about 60 pages long curriculum. On that basis we made the different categories. 6 credit points will be equal with pages long printed material, and so on the others. One of the most important task of the heads will be working out of the structure of the e-Learning material – they have to point out how many, and which kind of pictures, charts, figures, questions should the curriculum involve. We would like to ask the French members of the teams or French e-Learning experts to help the heads of the quadrangles in the determination of the recommendations to the e-Learning development – on the basis of their great experience in this field.

We have chosen 6 modules for the Nanterre meeting, 6 modules for the Essex meeting, and we have the 5 partially existing modules from the former project. It will be one of the most important tasks at the discussion panel to work out a method for their revision and German completion. Some of the modules consists of 2 subjects. We tried to connect the modules, which has less credits, and which can be connect to each other on the basis of their subject, according to the Master Programme of the French Partner taught traditionally to the students. It will be important to fill in the Table of modules form as soon as possible for all of the modules, every partner should denominate the members of the quadrangles with their availabilities ( address and phone number) at least until the next meeting in Essex. These are the 6 modules proposed for Nanterre meeting – the name of the modules, their credit points, the nationality of the module leader and the working language.

In our opinion the French colleagues’ material can be the basis for the French, English and Hungarian revision and for the German development, too. If I know it well they have both the French and the English versions from the 5 modules in question. Our idea for this task is similar to the working method for the new modules. We should establish also quadrangles for the preparation of the comparative items, using the new local specialities (English instead of the Belgian and German), the German partner can use the English or French version for translation or adaptation, and each delegated expert revise the content of the teaching material in the local language. From the budgetary point of view: The UPX and the BBS have money for revision and for the development of the comparative items. University of Essex has money for the revision of the Belgian material, for the development of the comparative items, and for e-Learning development. Hochschule Wismar has money for this 5 modules as by the 12 new modules – teaching material development in traditional form, local and comparative items, translation and adaptation, and e-Learning development. We have to discuss it at the discussion panel. Péter Soltész, Project manager & László Varga, Co-ordinator

The first deadlines are concerning to the modules, which are proposed for the present Nanterre meeting, the second deadlines (in red) are concerning to the modules proposed for the Essex meeting. So the members of the quadrangles have 2 months for the preparation of the Content papers, first in the working language of the team (English), and in the local languages. At he end of 2007 the content papers of the 6 modules proposed for this meeting will be ready in all the 4 languages. Péter Soltész, Project manager & László Varga, Co-ordinator

Project managers 30/09/2009 The next step is the translation for the curricula into the other 3 working languages. If the working language of the quadrangle is not the English, it could happen in the module International finance and Treasury and financing, the first task is the translation of the materials into English. These are 4 months for translation, and adaptation, we hope it will be enough. The last step is the b-Learning development, it can overlap the adaptation of the teaching material to the local language. We imagined parallel development in the 4 working languages, according to the recommendations of the module leaders. Every module members will have 6 months for b-Learning development if it necessary with the help of special subcontractors. At the 4th project meeting, closing meeting we would like to evaluate the teaching materials, and close the project successfully. Péter Soltész, Project manager & László Varga, Co-ordinator
