Abstract:

This article provides an overview and real-life experience of the evaluation process of documents submitted by students in the first phase of the ARPEL4Entrep project. The project is a partnership between Advenio eAcademy, University of Bari Aldo Moro, University of Ioannina, University of Žilina, Vilnius University, AllSecure Ltd -eBusiness Systems and EUCEN European University Continuing Education Network. By leveraging the partners' e-learning infrastructure and competences, the project provides potential students with a framework for accreditation and recognition of their prior formal and non-formal learning and work experience. The project provides a structured way in which prior experience and learning can be integrated into an innovative programme of online courses that enables participants to earn 180 ECTS credits at level 6. The aim of this paper is to present the results and experiences of the evaluation of the process of recognition of prior formal and non-formal learning and work experience that has been used to address the project.
