ABOUT THE PROJECT

Open Standards for Quality Information and Recognition

QualityLink aims to address all stakeholders’ needs by furnishing them with all relevant information about courses and micro-credentials from a diversity of sources to improve recognition decisions and allow learners to follow flexible learning pathways. Quality information on study programs and other courses is often dispersed throughout many different platforms and sites, and they are not interoperable. To make sure that the standards are of high quality and have ownership in the community, the consortium will create a Standards Consultation Board – a group of higher education interoperability experts from across different countries. Through creating open standards and collaboration, the project aims to establish the infrastructure for aggregating quality information from a wide range of sources.
