OMEA (IET) is the Internal Evaluation Team in a Department.

OMEA (IET) is formed by the Department and has a coordinating and executive role: it cooperates with MODIP and coordinates at the Department level the process of internal evaluation of the Department and the Accreditation of the respective USP (undergraduate study program).

MODIP recommends that during the formation of a Departments’ OMEA, an undergraduate student should also be nominated.

Access to the course evaluation by students is achieved by generating special unique anonymous keys (tokens). The members of the OMEA generate the tokens taking into account the number of students enrolled in the course.

1st way – sending an e-mail
The sending of special keys for student access to the assessment is done for all students in bulk by sending an email to the institutional accounts of the beneficiary-students. In case of co-teaching a course, students receive tokens either for all lecturers or only for the lecturer they have chosen (e.g. audience segmentation), as the assessment is done per lecturer and not per course.

2nd way – Export tokens in .pdf format
The allocation of tokens, after exporting them in .pdf file format, takes place in the course at a random time during the assessment period, in such a way as to maximise student participation.

More information on how courses are assessed can be found in the Guide for teaching evaluation: Information for OMEA Members (in greek), on the website of the MODIP.

Detailed instructions for the evaluation of teaching can be found at the following hyperlink https://modip.duth.gr/en/guides/ (in greek) in the submenu MODIP-HAHE INFORMATION SYSTEM GUIDES AND MANUALS.

MODIP’s Information System (OPS) functions as a supporting tool to the institutionalized quality assurance procedures. It is a constantly evolving system, which interfaces with other information systems of the Foundation, in order to automatically extract as much primary data as possible and reduce the workload of those involved. Specifically, it includes the following subsystems:

• Security Subsystem: The Authenticity Check is carried out through D.U.Th.’s directory service (LDAP) and user roles and privileges are given.
• Primary Data Collection Subsystem: Its purpose is to collect, transform and enter in the primary data system database and it is performed at the request of the administrator, choosing the desired academic periods.
  Questionnaires Subsystem: The electronic evaluation of the teaching project by the students is carried out.
• Service Report Completion Subsystem: The required indicators are filled in by the Foundation’s Central Services.
• Report Document Production Subsystem: The completed indicators of the Central Services are produced.
• Management Subsystem: MODIP can perform the management of Users, the definition of Roles, the monitoring of electronic assessment procedures and the recording of system activities.

In the context of its responsibilities and in accordance with its institutional framework, HQA (now HAHE) in 2015 created the “OPESP” system (National Information System for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (NISQA)) and proceeded to study, define and standardize the quality data of HEIs, which are collected on an annual basis, through the information system (https://qdata.ethaae.gr/), in order to be available to the accreditation and evaluation committees and to be used in every quality assurance process.
