The FP7 Project The key aim of the project is to develop MGA’s existing technology so that it is capable of tracking, transferring and analysing the lifelong learning data of all European citizens.
Research Objectives • Ensuring standardised data on an individual’s academic and personal life-long learning is digitalised, measurable and transferable. • Capturing the standardised knowledge of every EC citizen’s academic and learning progress and enabling this to be password shared and interrogated by individuals, organisations and governments. • Trailing the system in three learning domains: teaching, geo-informatics and transferable learning skills.
Expected Results • That academic and learning data is secure and password accessible by all EC citizens, organisations and governments. • That the data makes a major contribution towards improving the ability of individuals, organisations and governments to self-learn and improve. • That data is easily analysed to help influence EC policy on self-learning.
The Challenge Europe needs: • To maximise the potential learning capabilities of its citizens. • Increase labour mobility across jobs and across countries. • Remain competitive in the global markets. Learning data needs: • To be standardised, gathered and stored across all countries and all knowledge and skill domains. • Measurable to ensure well motivated progress. • To be moderated and validated. • To encourage learners and organisations to be responsible self-learners.
