WP4

Success Factors
This workpackage will create a set of Critical Success Factors (CSFs) - vital for success - and a set of Key Success Factors (KSFs) - desirable for success - to cover activities in the area of strongly ICT-imbued schools and colleges such as virtual schools, notschools, e-mature schools, etc.

It is led by P3 EFQUEL.

The bases for the VISCED CSFs and KSFs will be three:
 * 1) Proposed Success Factors derived from WP2 Field Research, interpreted in the context of #2 and #3 below -
 * 2) Success Factors produced for higher education by Re.ViCa (Erasmus project), and
 * 3) Quality Factors produced from earlier EFQUEL projects.

The work plan for the workpackage follows the general approach used for CSFs and KSFs in Re.ViCa - and also the way that benchmarking experts such as Paul Bacsich (Sero) and Stephen Marshall (the New Zealand developer of eMM) refine their own schemes:

A. A scoping document is produced. B. An interim version is produced. The interim version is then discussed by project partners, the International Advisory Committee and other stakeholders - and expert comment is sought from other professional benchmarkers from projects such as eMM (Stephen Marshall), ACODE, E-xcellence (EADTU etc) as well as experts within the partners (EFQUEL, Sero: Bacsich and Pepler) C. A final version is produced.

P3 EFQUEL
Leads the workpackage.

Coordinates the input from previous EFQUEL projects.

P2 Sero
Coordinates the input from the Re.ViCa Success Factors outcomes. Coordinates input from the views of the UK Ministries and agencies (in particular Becta) and from other benchmarking experts world-wide, including Stephen Marshall (eMM), ACODE, E-xcellence (EADTU), etc.

P4 ATiT
Assists with the interpretation of Re.ViCa Success Factors. Coordinates the input of VISCED potential critical success factors from WP3.

Explanation of workpackage expenditures
There are only staff resources allocated for this workpackage. There is no travel and subsistence foreseen. Other benchmarking experts do not need to be subcontracted for advice, not only because the consortium has strong experience, but also because several such experts are working with EFQUEL and Sero, and vice versa, on other projects, usually via electronic links. In addition, Paul Bacsich is visiting New Zealand in 2011 as the evaluator of the latest eMM project in New Zealand and will consult there with Stephen Marshall - at no cost to VISCED.
