The ReOPEN project aims to create tools for developing and validating open online learning (OOL) courses in order to facilitate recognition of non-formal learning. The project will design a platform for OOL curriculum development with validation and recognition features. It will also train educators to design validated OOL courses, apply digital badges for credentials, and recognize non-formal learning in formal programs. Ultimately, the project seeks to establish partnerships to promote broader recognition of open learning across institutions.
