Since the end of February 2020 the Online Learning Agreement platform and Erasmus Dashboard supports the Learning Agreement management in line with the new official LA template in the 2021-2027 Erasmus+ Programme.
The groundwork for enabling these changes has been laid with the OLA platform updates already last October and you can read more in the Release Notes and the Mobilities OLA 3.0 section that introduced some of the new functionalities.
As the new official template and guidelines material outlines - there are some new fields and processes that are supported in the 2021-2027 Erasmus+ programme that aim to facilitate a high-quality Erasmus+ experience by going fully digital and introducing such aspects as:
- European Student Identifier field pawing the way for smoother mobility experience and easier access to Erasmus+ services for students.
- Strengthening of the recognition processes by including full automatic recognition towards students degree commitment or allowing to indicate a clear justification and alternative recognition pathways in such a way increasing transparency and living the values of Council recommendations on automatic recognition. See more information here.
- Supporting new sections in the Learning Agreement to indicate virtual components as part of the academic mobility experience.
- Removing the "After mobility" section from the Learning Agreement that will now be substituted by the Transcript of Records.
- Addition of new fields for more transparency in the process e.g. by allowing to elaborate on the study field via open comment next to the ISCED classification.
Please note that from now on all Online Learning Agreements from the system are exported in the new official template format that is compatible with the QA procedures requirements.
Please see a guide introducing the new functionalities in the Online Learning Agreement and Erasmus Dashboard in line with the new official template in the step-by-step section of the Erasmus Without Paper Competence Centre.
