It must be completed before the Erasmus course and signed by the UL Academic Coordinator. This is usually required by the host university as part of the application process. At this point, module options are temporary and can still be changed when you start investing. Note: For the degree of knowledge of the language, the common European framework of reference (A1-beginners); C2-near native) IMPORTANT: Modules/classes must be included in the apprenticeship agreement to be approved by the academic coordinator. Empty learning agreements (i.e. no selected module) are not signed. 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 should include all the learning gains that the student must obtain during the exchange. 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. The first draft e-learning agreement was launched in 2015-17, a second one has been launched until 2019 and a third project is underway. For more information, see www.learning-agreement.eu/start/. With regard to student mobility for internships, the apprenticeship agreement should define how the internship is recognised, depending on whether it is counted in the student`s diploma, on a voluntary basis (not compulsory for the diploma) or by a recent graduate.
