Many institutions increasingly experiment on\u00a0flexible curricula<\/u>. It demonstrates a need to shape educational pathways capable to integrate\u00a0personalized plans of studies<\/u>\u00a0that allow graduating students to be competitive in the professions, or in accessing quality opportunities to continue their learning pathways.<\/p>\n

Not only students\u2019 preferences but also\u00a0industry\u2019s expectations<\/u>\u00a0indicate that integrated knowledge and competencies will be pivotal for successful careers. If many undergraduate students dedicate unprecedented self-studies research efforts for preparing their portfolio it means that\u00a0they haven\u2019t found in their curriculum all what was needed<\/u>\u00a0to prepare them to the next career steps. Wouldn\u2019t it be beneficial if they could\u00a0take modules<\/u>\u00a0in the universities that they are considering for their Master?<\/p>\n

Eventually, the challenges brought about by Covid-19 and strong traveling limitations especially affect international students.<\/p>\n

The various forms of HE international cooperation rely predominantly on\u00a0mutual recognition of credits<\/u>\u00a0that in its turn implies modules mapping, assessment of learning outcomes and delivery modes of courses taken in the partner institution.<\/p>\n

Would it be possible to exploit existing educational platforms for the integration of shared modules between partner institutions, from which students can choose to forge their curricula?<\/p>\n

Would this allow for a much more\u00a0open access to international education<\/u>, if the modules were made available on-line, or in hybrid formats? The platform could contain both modules belonging to the institution where they were originated, and modules jointly designed by partner institutions.<\/p>\n

On the 7th<\/sup>\u00a0of July, we would like to share with the Cumulus members our vision on how this Credit-based exchange could work and we invite member institutions to join our initiative.<\/p>\n

Please join us via this zoom link<\/a>. Time is 12.00 UTC<\/a>!<\/p>\n
