Editor's Notes
- #3: As a result we have a national approach to organize flexible education which is based on the needs of the student.. These are the 4 components that SURF is currently working on in the national approach to organize flexible education by developing an ICT-infrastructure for studentmobility: Exchange of educational data (OOAPI) and the eduHUB service A persistent identity that can be used across institutions (eduID) Edubadges: digital certificates that enable micro-credentialing and value extracurricular activities
- #4: Edubadges are digital certificates which show that the owner has acquired certain skills or knowledge. Edubadges can be issued for both accredited education and extracurricular activities. Edubadges is the digital certificates platform, using the open badge standard, that enables all Dutch higher education institutions to award students or workers with evidence of knowledge and skills they have acquired. Students expect convenience and freedom of choice to study what they want, where they want, in their own time and at their own pace. Not just during their studies, but afterwards too. By issuing Edubadges we offer them the flexibility they are looking for. MBO – Secondary vocational education. HBO – Higher professional education. WO – University education.
