Project Number: 2020-1-RO01-KA226-HE-095434 procedures that guarantee the accuracy, coherence and security of the data. To create the VSMA dashboard, the practitioners have worked in parallel on data governance, the creation and feeding of a data warehouse, and the design and commissioning of the final product, the dashboard itself. 8. Purpose/Aim The final objective of the VSMA dashboard is to help the faculties in the process of continuous improvement of the quality of the degrees they teach, making the necessary, coherent, accurate and timely information available to them. 9. Target group Higher Education faculty & staff Learning designers/educational technologists University leadership teams 10. Evaluation (results) of its effectiveness (if applicable) To ensure that the VSMA dashboard meets its objectives, we continually review the requirements of the AQU Catalunya (agency responsible for accreditation of degrees in Catalan universities) in terms of data and indicators for degrees monitoring and accreditation. We incorporate into the VSMA dashboard all the new data and indicators required so that the faculties can correctly prepare the required reports. 11. Overview of the lessons learned which are relevant to the project It allows for a cultural change in the organisation, making those responsible for the faculties and degrees understand that continuous improvement is not a requirement but a necessity. The tool makes them understand that to improve we need to measure and to measure we need reliable and timely data. Those responsible for the degrees have a single, secure and reliable source of data for the purposes of preparing their monitoring and accreditation reports. All the faculties of the UB use the VSMA dashboard to prepare these reports. Previously they had to look for the information in different sources. The regular use of the VSMS dashboard is fully extended in the organisation and has become a reference tool.
