Network for integrating Virtual Mobility and European Qualification Framework in HE and CE Institutions
The Network for integrating Virtual Mobility and European Qualification Framework in HE and CE Institutions (VIRQUAL) project was selected in 2008, and funded from 1 January 2009 until 31 December 2011 by the European Commission - DG Education & Culture under the Lifelong Learning Programme – Key Activity 3: ICT Network
The VIRQUAL web site is at http://virqual.up.pt
Summary
The VIRQUAL project proposes to help educational and training institutions to achieve Virtual Mobility and to guarantee EQF implementation through e-learning, aiming at finding specific obstacles in institutions and proposing concrete and innovative solutions.
The core group is composed by four subject interest groups (SIG) that address the main objectives of the network:
- SIG 1: Virtual Mobility, ECTS and E-learning.
- SIG 2: Research.
- SIG 3: E-learning and evaluation of Learning Outcomes of EQF.
- SIG 4: E-learning and EQF.
Expected outcomes
It is expected that through the results of this project network, other European HE and CE institutions will find guidance, case studies and tools to integrate Virtual Mobility in their practices, contributing to the construction of a realistic European Learning Space.
