The Bologna Process and the ECTS
3
In order to harmonise the definition of academic credit across
the European Higher Education Area (47 countries) the
Bologna Declaration introduced the European Credit
Transfer System (ECTS).
The ECTS aims to make academic achievement comparable
across the European Union and many other countries.
Competency-basedassessment lies at the heart of the
ECTS: instead of time on task what matters are the learning
outcomes achieved. Consequently online learning that
delivers comparable results can not be classified as inferior to
traditional forms of education.
Moreover the Lisbon Convention of 1997 resulted in a shift in
the burden of proof in academic credit recognition from
students to institutions of higher education.
There is a legal basis for a Pan-European common market for academic credit.

We create a market place for correction services allowing quality online education to scale.
Students Correctors
1 Students write term
papers, essays, case
studies and payfor correction services.
2 iversity passes them on to
a screened and approved
pool of correctors(graduate or Ph.D.
students).
3 Correctors use a grading
scheme to provide
feedback and a grade to
collect their payment.
4 Students receive in-depth
feedback and a grade.

exam or complete a
written assignment.
4321
Instructor defines gradingcriteria & the qualification
needed to be a corrector
(e.g. Masters degree)
iversity organisesthe exam (on-site
or proctored online)
using cloud grading
Students whosuccessfully pass the
