As part of the credit mobility organization, students and university staff must enter into trilateral learning agreements that form the basis for the recognition of university qualifications acquired abroad. As indicated by the PRIME survey conducted by the Erasmus 2010-2011 student network, apprenticeship agreements are a cornerstone and at the same time constitute a major obstacle to the proper organisation of credit mobility. Indeed, the interlocutors are not clearly defined, the information necessary to implement the agreements is rarely available online and the possibility for students to change their apprenticeship agreement after their arrival in the receiving higher education institutions is 75%. In the same survey, some national LLP agencies proposed to create an online tool for the preparation, approval and revision of learning agreements in an online environment, and this is what this project intends to do. The apprenticeship agreement is an essential document for the recognition of studies abroad. It is an agreement between the student, the sending institution and the institution, the organization or the company. The aim of the apprenticeship agreement is to ensure a transparent and efficient preparation of exchanges to ensure that you get recognition for successful activities abroad. The objective of the project is to enable students to prepare their learning agreements under an online system that will allow them to contact the detachment and hospitality coordinators of higher education institutions to finalize, approve and sign the document online. This process therefore transfers a paper workflow, which depends on timely mailings for signature purposes, into an online system that allows students to save a lot of time in preparing for their studies abroad and to create an increased degree of flexibility and efficiency in revising the learning agreement. The online software will also allow higher education institutions to integrate learning agreement management processes to improve the efficiency of the licensing and management process, giving staff time to work on other activities in international relations or improve the quality of credit mobility. An online tool that allows mobile students to prepare, submit and sign their online learning contracts. For student mobility, the apprenticeship agreement includes studies abroad and programs that are replaced in your home country after completing their studies abroad. For internships and research, the apprenticeship agreement refers to training or research activities.
The student begins the process by creating a learning agreement in the OLA system and signing it online. Be sure to give your students the right name and email address for the person in charge of your institution (responsible for signing the apprenticeship agreement). The apprenticeship agreement should include all the learning gains that the student must obtain during the exchange. University-specific apprenticeship contracts are signed at the faculty`s information centre after the student`s arrival in Bergen.
