HEION project goals

The operational objectives of the project are: • To review existing online systems or projects with similar aims in order to justify

in detail the development of an online tool for preparing LAs;

• To examine current practices in European higher education (among students, faculty and staff), focusing on identifying the constraints of correct LA construction and the adopted solutions;

• To design and prototype an online tool, as a proof of concept, capable of assisting and optimizing tasks related with the management of ECTS Learning Agreements;

HEION project goals

The operational objectives of the project are: • Choose statistics and indicators that can be readily extracted from the online

tool and to design the user friendly information visualization application from which to draw analysis reports;

• To develop dissemination activities, which should be initiated during the lifecycle of the project, but which also stretch beyond the contractual period of the project;

• To develop a set of recommendations for the wider implementation and sustainability of this proposal, based on the prototype which has been developed.

Critial issues

• Information is scattered in more that one place

• Lack of information about status of the process

• Changes to the original LA are not an exception but rather a rule

• Small changes = new documents

• Snail mail takes too long

• Aid for decision making (HEI activity and students’ choices)

• Quick activity analysis (immediate information need satisfaction)

• Tailored analysis of the information compiled by the HEI and network.

• Reporting beyond what is usually asked for (beyond National Agency report criteria)

• More in-depth analysis of variables (gender, curricula work load, etc)
