Thirty participants joined the study tour, including Senior Managements from participating universities, EdPEx Subcommittee and OHEC working team. Throughout this project, a total of 5 workshops (for each cohort of universities) have been held, training more than 70 assessors (in this new approach). A final workshop was conducted in December 2015. Reflecting lessons learnt from workshops, OHEC has revised the “Operation Manual” which will be used to conduct future workshops and guide future institutions in using the EdPEx tool.
