Virtual Mobility Before and After Student Exchange
http://vm-base.europace.org
Despite the evident success of mobility actions within the European Higher Education Area, research has shown that
a number of opportunities for improvement remain.
TARGET GROUPS:
Main target groups are the (Erasmus) students and teachers, but also policy makers, (networks of) higher education institutions, student representative bodies (at European, national, regional and local level) will be addressed.
ACTIVITIES:
Activities include research (needs analysis) and piloting.
OBJECTIVES:
Enhancing the impact and efficiency of the Erasmus Programme through the set-up of and support for a full-fletched ‘blended’ Erasmus action:
- as a complement to the existing Erasmus exchange programmes in which virtual Erasmus can be used to prepare and follow-up the physical mobility;
- to support teachers in coaching at a distance for both preparatory and return initiatives in blended format;
- to consider the local, regional, national and European considerations of such ‘blended mobility’ actions.
EXPECTED OUTPUTS:
1. Orientation guidelines for students
2. Codes of good practice in designing pre-selection tests for students
3. Blue print for preliminary courses for students preparing for a physical Erasmus exchange
4. Guidelines on assessment and evaluation tools
5. A study on a Virtual Alumni Association for Erasmus students
6. A manual on ‘good-practices in e-coaching’
7. A manual with validated procedures and recommendations for blended mobility activities at institutional, network and European level
