HE Strategic
Partnerships
the integration of a greater variety of study modes (distance, part-
time, modular learning), notably through new forms of personalised
learning, strategic use of open educational resources and virtual
mobility/learning platforms;
new approaches to facilitate permeability between education
sectors (i.e. through validation of prior learning and possibility of
flexible learning -modular studies, blended learning etc.);
the engagement of HEIs with local/regional authorities and other
stakeholders based on a collaborative work in an international setting
to promote regional development and cross sectoral cooperation to
build bridges and share knowledge between the different formal and
informal education and training sectors;
cooperation and exchange of practice between staff responsible for
support services, such as guidance counselling, coaching
methods and tools, development of systems that help track student
progress; or those involved in student support services, to increase
quality (i.e. attract and retain non-traditional learners, e.g. adults, and
underrepresented groups in higher education);
