Closed cbahim closed 1 year ago

cbahim commented 3 years ago

As presented during our tenth webinar, work package editors carried out a testing exercise with a subset of member states. For this exercise, volunteers were tasked to test the model against instance data and look at both the provider and consumer perspective. As a result, some comments were made on the potential flaws and blind spots of the current education credentials common data models. In the table below you can find a list of changes concerning the diploma supplement that will be applied to the model. Note that changes marked ‘quick fix’ will be made to the model regardless of the discussions on this thread. Changes marked as ‘proposal’ are up for discussion. If by the end of April 2021, no objections are made, work package editors shall proceed with the changes.

For efficiency reasons, the academicYear has been transformed into awardingDate as specified in the Europass Learning Model. The definition has been aligned too.
