This document summarizes information about the recognition of prior learning and microcredentials. It discusses three scenarios for evaluating MOOCs, criteria for evaluating stand-alone e-learning, and an Erasmus+ project called e-Valuate that developed guidance on recognizing e-learning. The project produced a practitioner's guide, position paper for e-learning providers, and student's guide. It also discusses that a common microcredentials framework ensures quality and transparency without requiring special recognition procedures if it fulfills the Lisbon Recognition Convention.

• In case of non-formal learning:
Recognition of Prior Learning
3. 2016 – 2018 Erasmus+ project
New paradigms in recognition
(PARADIGMS)
In collaboration with partners from the
Enic-Naric networks
4. Three scenarios for evaluation of MOOCs
1. MOOCs as part of a degree
programme
2. MOOCs in addition to a
traditional qualification
3. a collection of separate
MOOCs
1 – Should be no problem!
2 – May add learning outcomes (in case of
deficiencies)
3 – In principle not possible for ENIC-NARICs to
assess as a whole (only the separate modules)
11. Position paper for providers
of e-learning
Refer to generally accepted
Bologna tools
Integrate stand-alone e-learning
in internal and external QA
12. Student’s guide
Extra document, co-written
with ESU;
How to select suitable online
courses.
13. Common Microcredentials Framework
Very useful definition of microcredential;
Using Bologna tools to ensure quality and transparent information;
Fulfills all requirements for smooth recognition (within scope of
Lisbon Recognition Convention);
NO SPECIAL RECOGNITION PROCEDURES NECESSARY!
