European Inventory on Validation: 2018 Update

The just published 2018 update of the inventory on validation of non-formal and informal learning is a unique record of how validation is being used nationally, regionally and locally across Europe. It contains the state of play and an overview of developments for 36 countries, illustrated by good practice examples.

It also includes thematic reports on key issues in designing and imple­men­ting vali­da­ti­on initia­ti­ves, plus three inter­na­tio­nal case studies. The inventory is the result of a three-year process based on the work of a large network of national experts, extensive review of documents, and inter­views with key stakeholders.

3s con­tri­bu­ted to the project by preparing the country reports for Austria (Karin Luomi-Messerer) and Bulgaria (Mariya Dzhengozova) and a thematic report on ‘How digital forms of assess­ment and self-assess­ment might place a new challenge and oppor­tu­ni­ty for assess­ment metho­do­lo­gies’ (Karin Luomi-Messerer in coope­ra­ti­on with Ingrid Portenkirchner).
