Flexible education organisation
Students expect convenience and freedom of choice, to study what they want, in their own time, place and pace. As long as they study, but also in lifelong development. Institutions should offer flexibility where students ask for it, for instance making the education offer more flexible, facilitating student mobility and issuing digital certificates.
At Rotterdam University, students get credits for the knowledge they acquire, but how do you reward skills properly? The university uses edubadges to offer differentiation in this respect, so that students acquire skills at the level that suits them and they can make these visible on their CVs.
Case study
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.
