Our innovative approaches are among the best and most ambitious in the world
The quality assessment and the achievement of the ECCS standards of the DOBA online learning model were carried out for the master’s courses in Creative Human Resource Management for Competitive Advantages, Research Methodology, and Communication and Lobbying. In May, the review panel, comprising distinguished members of renowned international schools, assessed the achieving of quality standards in online learning at DOBA Business School. They interviewed 14 stakeholders of the school, representatives of the school’s management, academic and professional staff, students, and graduates.
In their report, the review panel specifically highlighted the qualitative aspects of online learning – the interactive elements in the implementation of courses, the excellent teamwork and interactions, the appropriate assessment methods and the provision of targeted feedback, the interaction between students, professors and online tutors, the excellent student support, and the varied use of mobile resources. All this proves that, with its innovative approaches, DOBA Business School is one of the leading and most ambitious providers of online learning in the world.
