Interoperability
To give students more flexibility when studying, including outside their own institution, products, systems and organisations must be able to cooperate and exchange information without restrictions. They must be 'interoperable'. This is often not yet the case. That is why SURF, at home and abroad, works together to increase interoperability.
Did you know that interoperability has a major impact on students' opportunities for development? What is the necessary improvement of processes at the 'back end' so that students at the 'front end' can choose and develop as freely as possible?
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.
