Testimonial from the University of SOPRON
Between 13 and 18 March 2025, the University of Sopron (UNIVERSITY OF SOPRON), as an institutional PROFFORMANCE ambassador, successfully tested the PROFFORMANCE + teaching performance assessment tool.
"The University of Sopron is committed to improving the quality of education. One of the tools for this is the discourse and reflection among lecturers, students and university leaders about the process of teaching and learning and the necessary teaching competencies. The PROFFORMANCE Assessment Tool provides quick, easily interpretable, decision-supporting data for intra-university dialogue through highly visualized, automatically generated dashboards. Following the successful pilot, the University of Sopron is open to further testing of the device to plan its optimized use for the university."
