Creating seamless learner experiences: Towards achieving interoperability in European University Alliances European Digital Education Hub (EDEH) #73
To solve the technological, semantical, organisational and legal challenges that currently disrupt a seamless digital teaching and learning experience in Higher Education institutions (HEIs) in Europe, incentivised through the European Commission and embedded in the European Digital Education Hub (EDEH), HE experts have come together in a community of practice to jointly develop an interoperability framework for European University Alliances (EU-A). Access to and participation in manifold digital learning opportunities is a key element of the “Virtual Campus” that is currently under development at each EU-A. The paper has four parts. Firstly, the scene will be set to shed light on interoperability challenges at EU-A. Secondly, the collaborative development approach is explained to underline the importance of an iterative methodology with a high level of community engagement that ideally develops into a sustainable community of practice. Thirdly, a view into the architects’ office illustrates the status quo of the framework development and gives an outlook on the steps to be taken until the end of the project. Finally, lessons learned are reflecting on the so far achievements and practical hurdles that need to be overcome.
