PARADIGMS (concluded)

The project New Paradigms in Recognition (PARADIGMS), which ran from 2016 to 2018, aimed to contribute to the accessibility of higher education in the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), by creating more effective policy on international recognition policies. The project focused on the areas of automatic recognition and new forms of learning.

New strategies and models were investigated for the implementation of automatic recognition. In addition, the project was designed to formulate recommendations to support ENIC-NARIC centres that want to assess the outcomes of 'eclectic' learning, such as forms of e-learning and in-company training programmes.

The results of the PARADIGMS project were further developed in the later e-VALUATE project and in the ongoing STACQ project.

Activities

  • 2 expert groups made an inventory of the latest developments in automatic recognition and eclectic learning and published policy papers on these 2 topics.
  • We developed and tested new guidelines to further implement automatic recognition in the EHEA and recognise new forms of learning.
