MORIN - Mobility recognition for integration

MORIN – Mobility Recognition for Integration, a strand 1 CBHE multi-country project, addresses ‘Integration of migrants’ as a regional overarching priority by focusing on academic recognition of student mobility based on learning outcomes (LOs) as an innovative pedagogical approach, both necessary and pertinent, for linking work with education, by ensuring curriculum transparency, comparability, flexibility for improving recognition and study transfer procedures, revising course contents, methodologies and assessment to provide for student-centred and skills-oriented learning that adds an international, global dimension to the curriculum, thus, enhancing collaboration among WB6 HEIs for student exchange and intra-regional employability and connectivity. We follow these interconnected paths of action: developing documents and tools to establish a common regional approach to academic recognition, internationalizing the curriculum via global LOs and embedded mobility, establishing institutional procedures for the recognition of credit mobility by adopting a LOs model for enhancing transparency, quality teaching and learning for future-proof skills, and mobility and credential completion through credit transfer. A regional mapping survey will be carried out. A self-assessment mobility recognition tool, regulations for institution-wide recognition practices, guidelines for academic recognition via LOs will be developed, the LOs of at least 5 courses from two study programmes at WB HEIs will be rewritten, 5 recognition practices, one per WB HEI, will be simulated and compared against the real ones within the consortium. Training workshops and webinars will be organized to build the capacities of academic staff for improving recognition practices. WB HEIs, their staff and students, as direct beneficiaries, and other WB universities, ministry, policy-makers, HE experts should be able to exploit the project deliverables and integrate them into their HE contexts.
