As part of the EU-funded Erasmus+ eCAMPUS project, on October 15-16, 2025, the representatives of Armenian universities and national education bodies participated in a two-day study visit to KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden. The visit was conducted within Work Package 3 (WP3), which focuses on developing an Internal Quality Assurance (IQA) system for digital teaching and learning activities in Armenian higher education institutions.
Co-funded by the ERASMUS+ Capacity Building in Higher Education (CBHE) programme, the eCAMPUS project aims to enhance the quality of digital teaching and learning across Armenian universities. Key objectives include strengthening digital competencies among teaching staff, implementing effective internal QA mechanisms, introducing innovative educational practices, establishing modern digital infrastructure, and supporting regulatory frameworks for digital education.

Assessment strategies: of, for, and as learning
Institutional-level quality assurance: stakeholders, tools, and methodologies
Student engagement as partners in the learning process.
The visit facilitated in-depth collaboration between Armenian and European partners, focusing on the design of a robust IQA system aligned with European Higher Education Area standards. Discussions emphasized continuous improvement, integration of digital competencies into quality frameworks, and sustainable models for digital transformation.
The study visit not only advanced the eCAMPUS objectives but also strengthened international academic partnerships, supporting Armenia’s commitment to delivering world-class, innovative education.
