What is a Student Cabinet???

A student cabinet is a place in which to keep students? Not quite... Student Cabinet refers rather to a paperless feedback and information system for students, a possible single point of entry for each individual student to the ICT systems which their studies require.

Sumy State University have developed such a system, as a result of recommendations made during our June 2016 Tempus ALIGN project peer review of SSU's 'Computational Mechanics' study programme.

The concept behind our new ICM (International Credit Mobility) project is to allow SSU staff and students to present the university cabinet system, so that IADT staff can peer review the cabinet, using IADT lenses.

Our lenses might  include...  Need? Doability? Practicality? Integration with (or replacement of) existing systems? WHY? Design? Uex - Usability Experience? UD – Universal Design? GDPR? Data protection and responsibilities? Potential?

Terminology will also be crucial for our project, with the development of an updated common glossary, based on the Tempus ALIGN 'Definitions'… We need clarity on SSU terms and IADT equivalents… Ukrainian terms and Irish (or EU) equivalents... A common language



Also, the Sumy cabinet system automatically aggregates and generates a Diploma Supplement… Cabinet system also allows for simultaneous or asynchronous cross-moderation and grading of student work. Cabinet is ALSO the entry point into SSU student surveys, e-learning platforms, MOOC platforms and webinar platforms…

The initial SSU to IADT mobility and presentations will hopefully occur on the week of the 25th of February 2019.

Sumy ICM visit to IADT - Student Cabinet Mobility - 25th February to 1st March 2019

From 25th February, IADT hosted 5 of our colleagues from Sumy State University (SSU) in Ukraina, who visited as part of the KA1 project around Student Cabinet systems. The Sumy Team of Iryna Skliar, Volodymyr Liubchak, Vladyslav Khomenko, Yurii Zuban and the esteemed Konstantyn Kyrechenko did excellent presentations and worked hard on scoping possible futures for our project together, both with the cabinet and with the Sumy e-learning platforms. A highlight of the SSU visit was the Wednesday 27th of February launch of IADT's new Strategic Plan. The SSU team got an opportunity to meet our Minister of State for Higher Education Mary Mitchell O'Connor TD, who was delighted to welcome the team to our Institute and to Ireland. On Wednesday 27th in the Boardroom of the Media Cube, we experienced something of a 'eureka moment' in our IADT Cabinet project. There followed a fantastic session on the morning of Thursday 28th, with Colm Hennessy, Pat Moffatt, David Do
