  abstract =     "Defining what we mean by a quality degree is a
                 difficult enough undertaking. Having to demonstrate
                 that a degree program is adhering to this definition is
                 at least as challenging. Academics already ``know''
                 that they are doing a good job with the teaching and
                 learning aspects of their courses and so any suggestion
                 that the processes involved need monitoring and
                 auditing commonly meet with a combination of disdain,
                 calls of ``time-wasting'' and ``meddling'' and general
                 derision. At the same time, there is increasing
                 pressure on Universities around the world to not only
                 be accountable for the quality of their products but to
                 also demonstrate that processes that reflect the
                 efforts to achieve quality be visible and in place. In
                 this paper we describe a new web-based database system
                 which has been developed to monitor and track aspects
                 of the quality of our degree offerings. Particular
                 attention has been paid to ensuring that the important
                 facets which define or demonstrate quality are both
                 highlighted and managed easily.",
