The National Agency for Quality Assurance of Higher Education is actively preparing experts on accreditation of educational programs. One of the stages of this training is the training of potential experts in the face-to-face training. During December 10-11, the SSU underwent appropriate training at the "Laboratory of Ideas" of the Department of Management. One of our team members took part in it. The assistant to the Department of Management, Ph.D. of PA Demikhov O. successfully accomplished the training. The future experts mastered the competencies in evaluating educational programs, communication skills with focus groups and the psychology. So, instead of formal administrative functions, an expert advises and helps a higher education institutions to improve their educational programs. It is such a European approach that will allow us to reform our higher education system!

Assistant of the Department of Management, PhD of PA Demikhov A.I. won the second prize in the contest "Pedagogical Innovation of SSU" in 2019 in the nomination "Practice-oriented training of students." The teacher proposed the project “Video as an innovative aspect of practice-oriented learning” for the competition. The essence of the project is to complete the student’s creative task: shooting on a smartphone and editing a compressed video (up to 4 minutes). The video should contain brief information about the urgency of the problem identified by a student that he or she is studying within the educational program. Also, a student offers possible solutions to this problem and formulates a call for a community in the sphere of integrity and offers possible managerial decisions. The university’s expert jury evaluated this project at high level.
