Conférence Présentation / Intervention Virtual mobility: the new challenge for higher and continuing education institutions eng 2012 author Class Barbara 0000-0002-5461-2307 500695 author De Franchi Mandscheff Ahidoba 95390 author Soeiro Alfredo European universities are faced with important issues, in particular an ageing population, a decrease in the number of learners per institution, globalization and competition. At the same time, physical mobility represents one of the most successful projects of the European Union. Since physical mobility is rather demanding in financial and organizational terms, only 4% of learners from European higher education institutions can benefit from the programme today. European higher education and continuing education institutions have to develop their offers, taking into account the paradigm of an ageing population and the need for professional reconversions or specialisations. The case of the University of Geneva's continuing education courses is discussed – with a majority offered in a face-to-face format. Starting from there we move to the European context in terms of LLL and virtual mobility. Scenarios, taken from the VIRQUAL - Virtual Mobility and European Qualification Framework – European project (VIRQUAL website, 2010), show how it could all work and fit together, across countries, across generations and across contexts Virtual mobility LLL Learning outcomes Qualifications Framework ECTS ECVET Dewey 418.02 113 Département d'interprétation 93 false European Distance and E-Learning Network 6-9 June Porto (Portugal) d1fe0637-ed0f-4b70-a402-eaefef8b6fd3 Presentation Public ClassDeFranchiSoeiro2012.pdf 116272 application/pdf openAccess Faculté de traduction et d'interprétation / Département d'interprétation
