    Name UNITA personalised international learning paths
    Strategic Axes Education and Pedagogical Innovation
    Workpackage UNITA Lifelong education



    Objectives

    This Task aims at encouraging the internationalization and personalisation of study paths. Three main outcomes are expected, namely the design of common study paths, the creation of the “UNITA à la carte” model, and of the UNITA label. Based on UNITA first phase (D2.4: 3 replicable models of internationalised curricula) and on the results of the matching event on education that will be held in March 2023, UNITA common learning paths will be designed and launched. A wide variety of shared, personalised, multilingual, inclusive and dynamic study paths will be designed and implemented, thus developing the model of "UNITA à la carte", the mobility window and shared study programmes. The responsibles of degree programmes and Vice-rectors in education will support the development, adoption and implementation of a common UNITA framework for diplomas and personalised international learning paths. As central action within this framework, the UNITA Label will certify particularly internationalized degrees, in line with the EQAF and the criteria pointed out in the pilot call on the European degree label, also complying with the national regulations.

    The production of degrees will be supported by Task teams 2.2, 2.4, 3.3, 4.1, 4.2, 4.4. The programmes will be included in the UNITA comprehensive course cartography, hosted in the UNITA inter-university digital campus.

    Percentage of study programmes with UNITA à la carte activities or with UNITA degree label

    • Baseline 2022: n.a.
    • Target 2027: 30%

    List of activitiesActivity titleActivity descriptionDeadline
    1Introduce the new partners to the achievements and lessons learned from phase one.The Task will start with a (UNITA) state-of-the-art of past experiences. It relies on many examples, either stand-alone or single, multiple, joint degree transformation exercises, or best practices on multilingual student-centred pedagogies and digital learning.(M1-M2)
    2Create the "UNITA à la carte" model.By identifying existing and launching new UNITA learning opportunities, integrating them into the existing curricula based on a continuous update of the UNITA course cartography and facilitating their automatic recognition, also using the opportunity of the Flexibility window introduced in local curricula during UNITA first phase. Improve the model through the learner's feedback.(M3-M48)
    3Introduce the mobility window (MW) in study programmes.A mobility window is a period of mobility (either long or short, physical, blended, or virtual) embedded into the curriculum of a study programme. It implies an agreed set of learning activities fully recognised by the partner Universities. The MW benefits from digitalization of student mobility processes (EWP and European student card). We will identify a sample of study programmes on which to implement this mobility opportunity.(M6-M48)
    4Develop and promote a UNITA European label for joint study programmes.We will define the main features of the UNITA label and disseminate it to the community for application. Following the European strategy for Universities, the UNITA label will be in line with the recommendations from the pilot phase on the European degree label (see call ERASMUS-EDU-2022-POL-EXP) such as Multilingualism, Innovative learning approaches, Flexible and embedded student mobility arrangements".(M5-M11)
    5Design and implement shared UNITA degrees.The relevant responsible actors will identify existing or design new programmes meeting the requirements of the UNITA degree label. The shared degree programmes will be implemented.(M11-M48)
