  6. QS unisolution QS unisolution GmbH • Founded in 2001 in the Technical University Darmstadt by Manuel Dietz and Stéphane Velay • Team of 11 colleagues based in Stuttgart • 300 institutions in 15 countries using moveon, more than 1,200 members of the moveonnet web portal • From April 1st 2009 part of QS group based in London Our mission: To provide institutions of higher education with software, portals and services essential for their development in the international field

  7. QS and QS unisolution - Portfolio Higher Education Worldwide International Relations Management Supporting International Education Software Portals Services and Events Fairs Rankings Application- and Admissions Management Higher Education Worldwide Trainings and Workshops

  8. The unisolution user community 300 institutions in 15 countires using our software 1,500 colleagues working with moveon everyday 100,000 students yearly managed in moveon

  10. Europe before Bologna 27 countries in todays EU-europe - Diversity of educational systems and degrees - Difficulties in transferring academic achievements - Incompatibility between countries - Many inhibitors to mobility

  11. Europe with Bologna European Higher Education Area • academic degree standards • introduction of comparable degrees (Bachelor / Master) • introduction of Credit Point System (ECTS) • recognition of degrees • increase attractiveness of European higher education

  12. Europe with Bologna European Higher Education Area • Bologna started with 29 member states • Today EHEA has 46 members • Students in tertiary education • - 16.5 Mio. Students in EU 27 • - 17.2 Mio students in USA • Students in mobility per year • - 360,000 in EU 27 • - 200,000 in Euro Area

  13. One focus of Bologna is Mobility There are three types of mobility Exchange Mobility = Students studying parts of one learning period in another institution Dual / Mulitple Degree Mobility = Students studying in more than one institution and receiving more than one degree Transfer Mobility = Students transfering within or after a learning period (e.g. Bachelor Degree) completely from one institution to another

  14. Successes of Bologna until today One of the successes of Bologna was the introduction of Bachelor / Masters Degrees throughout europe and of ECTS … shorter study cycles within the two levels … comparable degrees across europe … easier transfer from one institution to another … continous growth in exchange mobility

  15. The next challenges Still to be resolved are processes to … … transfer credits outside of exchange mobility … transfer data between universities in general … make data transfer and recognition more transparent … define standards between different IT systems

  17. Major european projects on standards for courses / student data UK/Ireland: digitary full electronic graduation documents Norway: CDM (courses) UK: XCRI (courses) Sweden: LadokPing (students) Sweden: Emil (courses) EU: PLOTEUS (courses) EU: CEDEFOP- Europass France: CDM-FR (courses) Italy: Anagrafe nazionale (students) CEN Technical Committee 353(European Committee for Standardization) Italy: Alma Laurea (graduates)

  19. RS3G was initiated by unisolution in collaboration with Digitary and KION Exchange ideas and experience around student and curriculum data transfer between institutions of Higher Education Supporting the Bologna Process by developing new technological approaches and standards to implement them The roots of RS3G

  20. “allroadsleadstart fromRome” European workshop, 9th November 2007 in Rome Defining standards and procedures for the exchange of student curriculum data between Higher Education Institutions 40 participants from 13 countries incl. PESC Rome Student Systems and Standards Group (R3SG) Recommendations Permanent Observatory Delegation of Experts to CEN Promote technical subgroups

  21. Most important members are Digitary EAIE EUNIS Gartner JISC / CETIS HIS KION LADOK Oracle PESC Sungard unisolution RS3G member institutions

  22. Steering committee members Gunnar Backelin, LADOK (SE) Jonathan Dempsey, Digitary (IE) Jean Francois Desnos, EUNIS (FR) Manuel Dietz, unisolution (DE) Herrmann de Leeuw, EAIE (NL) Simone Ravaioli, KION (IT) Advisors to steering committee Jan Martin Lowendahl, Gartner Research (SE) David Moldoff, PESC and Academy One (USA) Mark Stubbs, Manchester Metropolitan University (GB) RS3G steering committee

  27. Manage diversity Integrate and acknowledge existing activities by always checking other work first, i.e. don't reinvent where there has been work done elsewhere such as by PESC, CEN, ISO, HR-XML, IMS Use pilot implementations and feedback from users to advance standards activity Publicise the work of the group as possible with keynotes at major conferences Generally use of pointers is better than transfer of data, where appropriate Principles agreed by the group

  28. Future Roadmap for RS3G Liaise with other groups such as EAIE, EUNIS, CEN Build formal structures with two meetings per year + steering committee Work on pilot projects between Institutions, Suppliers and National / European Institutions Influence the standards in Higher Education Promote new technologies in the HE sector across borders

  29. 1 Manuel Dietz 2 unisolution 3 Bologna 4 European Initatives 5 RS3G 6 Use cases 7 QuestionsandAnswers

  30. The unisolution approach on Bologna with e-mobility One of unisolutions main focuses is on supporting international exchange, erasmus and study abroad with IT managed processes and software This includes • Preparing exchange frameworks (Bilateral exchange Agreements) • Providing accessible course offer (Learning Agreements, LA) • Transferring data related to mobility (Nomination) • Transferring academic achievements (Transcripts of Records, ToR)

  31. Definition e-mobility The e-mobility process includes the following electronic procedures: standard electronic procedure for exchange agreements (before mobility) standard electronic procedure for nomination of exchange students (before mobility) standard electronic procedure for exchange of curriculum data of exchange students (consisting of e-Learning Agreement and the e-Transcript of Records) (before, during and after mobility)

  32. Web services Web services Web services moveon Own system moveonnet The ways to use the e-procedures e-procedures service provider

  33. Advantages of e-mobility • Transparent information flow between all parties involved (partner institutions & student) • Automated data transfer prevents repeated data entry and mistakes (e.g. online course catalogue  LA  ToR  Home Institutions Student Management) • One standard system usable by all institutions worldwide for incoming and outgoing students with moveon, moveonnet or own system • Reduces unnecessary paperwork

  34. Current use of e-mobility • e-nomination was first used in 2007/08 as pilot phase • in 2008/09 e-nomination was actively used by around 50 european institutions to nominate 10.000 students • e-nomination was also used by some US institutions • in 2009/10 our aim is to increase that number by 100% or more • e-transcripts are piloted until June 2009 and will be opened to public in July at the yearly moveon users conference in Stockholm, Sweden

  35. Challenges for e-mobility • Too many different data formats (courses, grades, persons) • Already existing standards (CDM, CDM-FR) only implemented in very few institutions • Diversity of existing processes … or even no processes at all in place • Authentication methods when transferring sensitive data

  36. How RS3G can help • Standardizing the many different formats of course catalogues • Bringing the implementors together • Promote new business models for the universities • Piloting between different countries "Standards come through adoption” D. Moldoff, Academy One (Rome workshop)
