It was initially established as a Pedagogical Academy on 18 September 1973, while the work started on 25 December 1975. The New University of Gjilan was established with the decision of the Government of Kosova on 6 March 2013, and adopted by the Assembly of Kosovo on May 30, 2013, with the idea of promoting and developing university higher education, research scientific, artistic creativity, qualification of staff to the doctoral degree. The establishment of the UKZ enabled the inclusion of the largest number of students in the Gjilan region, the Presheva Valley and other areas of Kosovo and outside of Kosovo At the 2nd meeting of the Senate of the "Kadri Zeka" University, held on 26.12.2013, the new Faculty of Computer Science (FCS) was approved and accredited in the framework of UKZ and after regular evaluation of the experts from Kosovo Agency for Accreditation. Unlike the other faculties of the "Kadri Zeka" University, which were continuation of the branches of the respective faculties of the University of Prishtina, the FCS started its work for the first time on October 1st, 2014, registering 122 new students. In the public contest for student enrollment for the coming years, a large number of candidates were presented, so math's and informatics tests were selected for the selection of the best. The curriculum at the FCS is carried out for three years (6 semesters) of regular studies. The FCS provides basic and advanced knowledge on technological and software challenges in the field of computer science as 7 well as tire application in the IT industry and software development for Web Design and Economics. Knowing that engineers in modern times need to be able to solve ever more complex problems and issues for designing and implementing package software, designing and implementing computer solutions, or to improve and maintain technology information that will be provided in this Bachelor program will cover techniques that will increase productivity in the development of software and information technology. Within the Faculty of Computer Sciences, from the academic 2017/2018 was accredited the Master e-Governance program where 60 regular students were enrolled. For the next year is planned accreditation of new master and bachelor study programs from the IT field. 8 Introduction The digitalization could be explained such as the evolution of the humanity, a development of the human intelligence, if it is used properly. At company’s level, the target of this digitalization is to develop effective management and operational processes to make easier and maximize company’s efficiency. If we want to know the impact of this phenomenon on companies and markets you just have to think about one question: - What company could survive in its respective market without have a webpage or appear on the Internet? Nowadays it’s impossible to imagine a big company or a SME without a minimum reference on the Internet, because that information makes customers trust in enterprises and their services or on the other hand doubt about them depending on the appearance of their webs or regarding opinions of other costumers. But the profits of digitalization provide more advantages than disadvantages to companies. With the progressive arrival of this phenomenon all the markets have been globalized and enterprises have yield benefits from it, using for example the Internet as a canal to sell their products and gain share of the market. When we are thinking about digitalization and taking into account its progress, an unavoidable question appears on our minds: - Will we be replaced in our jobs for computers in the near future? 9 In this digital era, we can’t be sure at all. All the enterprises require a good use of technologies as something essential and basic to fulfill their profile of employee. It’s all about taking any opportunities to learn about technological process and programs that could be useful for working in different kind of enterprises. The main target of this Conference is to motivate and make the students aware about the importance of technologies in business, showing them a huge variety of options to use digital technology and the profits that could be achieved through it. The characteristics of the event and the quality of the projects which will be presented in the DiGiDay Conference will offer a perfect opportunity of gaining meaningful insights of present and future trends in digital marketing and sales for businesses. At the end of the DiGiDay Conference we will leave with a pretty good idea of how important the technology is nowadays for business. That digital marketing is very important for a company at all levels: - Awareness, - Website, - Brand advertising, - Personalization, etc. Also, to engage the consumers, it is a great idea to involve them in activities related to the company for example sending them surveys so they can get involved in the improvement of the company. And for the last one it is kind of obvious, the bookings being made online or through an app. It’s innovative! 10 Conference Team Scientific Committee The scientific committee, responsible for the academic content and quality of the conference will consist of academics from all the representatives from the co- organizing partner’s universities: Dr. Bajram Kosumi, University of Gjilan “Kadri Zeka” Dr. Xhevdet Thaqi, , University of Gjilan “Kadri Zeka” Dr. Irena Orovid, University of Montenegro, Podgorica Dr. Arto Adili, University of Korça "Fan S.Noli" Dr. Rafail Prodani, University of Korça "Fan S.Noli" Dr. Bederiana Shyti, University of Elbasan "Aleksandër Xhuvani" Dr. Rexhep Rada, University of Elbasan "Aleksandër Xhuvani" Dr Bekim Fetaji, Mother Teresa University, Skopje Dr. Eva Çipi, University of Vlora “Ismail Qemali” Dr. Fitim Zeqiri, University of Mitrovica “Isa Boletini” Dr. Muzafer Shala, University of Mitrovica “Isa Boletini” Organizing Committee The organizing committee will consist of staff within the University “Kadri Zeka” and Faculty of Computer Sciences – the Executive Dean, vice Dean, Professors and other academic and professional services staff.

  • The Manual for External Evaluation of Higher Education Institutions
    THE MANUAL FOR EXTERNAL EVALUATION OF HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS February 2021 FOREWORD The European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (ENQA) has assessed Kosovo Accreditation Agency, which is the main formal authority for quality assurance of Higher Education Institutions in Kosovo, as an exemplary institution, which has reached significant progress on fitting the Higher Education of the country into the European frameworks. Since then, the KAA is proud to have been adhered to the strict procedure of internal and external quality assurance, based on the Bologna action lines and the Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area (ESG), which is adopted by the Ministers responsible for HE in the European Higher Education Area, in May 2015. To date, Kosovo and the KAA have marked significant progress in quality assurance by adopting the National Qualification Framework, Criteria and Standards for Accreditation of HEIs, recognition, and promotion of the learning outcomes and shifting of the paradigm of learning and teaching process towards student-centred instead of teacher/professor-centred. Moreover, the international partners consider the work of the KAA as an example of good practice in the field of Higher Education in Kosovo, and this is not a privilege but a commitment to further development and results. In this spirit, among many legal and administrative procedures, standards, and manuals, the KAA has developed this handbook to provide practical guidance to the external evaluation Team members assigned to evaluate HEIs on behalf of the Agency. The KAA believes that providing clear guides and sharing of experience benefits the actions for improvement of the HEIs’ external evaluation process, improvement of all the institutional stakeholders involved in the process, and advancement of the Quality Assurance system in adherence with the European standards.
