Imagine this: a student is taking a course at another faculty, institution or abroad. The results are automatically transferred, without any manual work, minimising the risk of errors. More and more institutions in vocational education (MBO), higher professional education (HBO) and university education (WO) are using the Open Education API (OEAPI) for this purpose. This standard makes collaboration between different systems easier.
Digitalisation in higher education is no longer simply about a learning management system (LMS), a student information system, or adding even more applications. The real challenge over the coming years lies elsewhere. Sanna Dijk, information manager at Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (HvA), advocates for collaboration and for supporting subject-specific technologies that align with professional practice.
The way in which we share health data is set to change radically as a result of new European legislation. Institutions will soon be required to make data available. As Chief Science Information Officer at Erasmus MC, Robert Veen is involved in preparing regional and national research infrastructure to ensure that the Netherlands is ready for this.
