SVC Final Evaluation. Background Report Lepori and Probst 4 The SVC projects In this chapter, we provide information on the status and perspectives of the SVC-funded projects, including their integration in the curricula and their relationships with their CCSP. The information has been collected through the monitoring dossiers of the projects, passive participation in the monitoring visits during 2007 and two different online questionnaires: one for already concluded projects, which did not get any more federal funding, and one for projects that were still continuing in 2007, and thus had a monitoring in 2007 (either in the production or maintenance phase). 23 out of 26 project leaders or coordinators from concluded projects answered the questionnaire (88 %), and 80 1 out of 88 ongoing projects (91 %). The total response rate is therefore 90% (103 out of 114; Table 4). 1c 1m 2c 2m 3c 3m 3p 4p total not answered 2 1 1 1 4 2 11 answered 11 14 11 10 1 10 18 28 103 Total 13 15 12 10 1 11 22 30 114 Table 4: Respondents by series 2 Some information has been cross-checked with the answers of the CCSP leaders concerning their views on the situation and perspectives of the SVC projects. 4.1 Number and status of projects Overall, the SVC has funded 112 projects divided in four series. Two more projects were funded by OPET and administratively managed by the SVC. After the end of their production phase, the projects had the possibility of asking for a maintenance support to help their integration in the curricula (with the exception of the 4 th series projects whose production phase ends only at the end of 2007 or, for most of them, before July 2008). Thus, there are different situations of projects to consider. Table 5 gives an overview on the projects by series and status. In 2007, 26 projects were already concluded, while 88 were still going on, 36 of them in maintenance, 52 in production phase. While at the beginning it was foreseen that projects should be concluded at the end of 2007, many made use of the possibility to ask for prolongation until mid 2008 (without additional federal funding). 1st 2nd 3rd 4th total Concluded 13 12 1 26 Maintenance 15 10 11 3 36 Production 22 30 52 total 28 22 34 30 114 Table 5: Projects by status and series The developed projects are not equally distributed among scientific fields (Table 6). Areas with many projects are Medicine/Pharmacy/Health, Computer Sciences/Telecommunications, Sciences/Mathematics and Social Sciences/Social Work. Projects in Social Sciences/Social Work have been developed mainly in the consolidation phase, while the other fields were very active in the impulse phase as well. Architecture/Engineering is a field that started with a considerable number of projects, but then decreased steadily. 1 One of these projects answered only to half of the questions, thus in several questions we have one missing answer. 2 1c = first series, concluded, 1m = first series, maintenance, 3p = third series, production, etc. 3 Two of these projects are only administratively managed by the SVC coordination This raises the total number of projects to 114. 29

Thus: • The 50 projects of the 1 st and 2 nd series received on the average 600,000 CHF per project (with large differences between individual projects, some of them receiving more than 1 mio. CHF.). • The 30 projects of the 3 rd series received a fixed amount of 200,000 CHF for content development, as well as 100,000 CHF as overhead for the CCSP for the technical development (a small number of projects received slightly higher funding). For UAS projects, these amounts were reduced to 100,000 CHF, respectively 50,000 CHF as overhead. • These amounts were further reduced to 100,000 CHF plus 50,000 CHF for the 4 th series projects (66,000 + 33,000 for UAS projects; supplement of 50,000 CHF for some university projects). Moreover, maintenance projects received additional funding between 70,000 and 100,000 CHF. This increased the differences in funding between the project series, since most of the money was allocated to the 1 st and 2 nd series projects and to some 3 rd series projects. For UAS projects, OPET decided not to grant maintenance support. Thus, there has been throughout the programme an evolution from very large projects, which developed their contents and tools on their own, to smaller projects which should at the same time have benefited from the support of their CCSP. These differences have to be taken into account in the following discussion. 30
