- PublicationImplementing the AoL standard for the WI and BIT curricula in AACSB – Lessons learned at the FHNW(The International Academic Forum (IAFOR), 2022) Telesko, Rainer; Ochsenbein, Guy; Röhm, Ruth; Reber, Andreas; Pülz, Michael; Loosli, Christina [in: ECE 2022. The 10th European Conference on Education. Official conference proceedings]Before 2014, the quality management process in all our programs has been rather informally and individually organized. In 2014, the management of the School of Business at the FHNW decided to set up a strategic project to achieve the AACSB accreditation to sustainably secure the role among the best business schools. Among other standards, AACSB deals with Assurance of Learning (AoL, standard 5 in the 2020 standards) with the clear goal formulated as "The school uses well-documented, systematic processes for determining and revising degree program learning goals; designing, delivering, and improving degree program curricula to achieve learning goals; and demonstrating that degree program learning goals have been met." The AoL process has been established step by step since 2015 and provided us with a guideline to check the mission-reference of our program goals and learning objectives and to continuously develop the program quality on a common database. This paper describes the implementation of AoL using the four steps "Determining Degree Program Learning Goals", "Measure", "Results" and "Closing the Loop" for the bachelor programs WI (in German "Wirtschaftsinformatik") and BIT (Business Information Technology). As examples, measurements and improvements for various modules (spanning from supply chain to the computer science domain) are discussed, underpinning the clear and significant progress in the management of curricula and in the monitoring of our study programs’ effectiveness regarding student learning. Finally, we outline selected AoL initiatives at other universities and show how we can benefit from them to successfully enhance our project.04B - Beitrag Konferenzschrift
- PublicationIT-Supplier Maturity Model(Hochschule für Wirtschaft FHNW, 2016) Röhm, Ruth; Gatziu Grivas, StellaIT suppliers which focus on micro, small and medium enterprises do often still deliver their software as on premise solution, thus to install on local servers. In the last few years was accepted by their customers but the affinity to digital services has increased. Today many people use their smartphones, computers or even online storage on a daily bases. Consequently, expectations of software solutions have raised as well. In this paper a model shall be developed which supports IT supplier to assess their own maturity and the ability to support their customers in fulfilling their own customers’ high expectations .The model shall support deciding which areas and attributes shall be analyzed in order to digitalize processes and deliver the services online. Several existing models have been analyzed and the most important areas evaluated. After all, the model which has been developed suggests to analyze nine areas of the organization: strategy, technology, products, people, customer experience, leadership, culture, operations, and governance. For each area a capability level can be achieved for the organization. The new perspective which this model includes is the customer view and his expectations of the service. The same areas are evaluated but from the point of view of the customer and along a different scale, which is a progression scale. The combination of the achievements in the five capability levels and the four progression levels results in a final maturity level which indicates to what extend the IT supplier has digitalized his organization and supports his customers digitalizing their business.11 - Studentische Arbeit
