The project intends to transfer and extend the results of the former project “SLOOP: Sharing Learning Objects in an Open Perspective”.

It focuses on the definition of Open Educational Resources developed according to the Open Learning Object paradigm, and is aimed at helping teachers in Vocational Education and Training (VET) to increase their knowledge and understanding of new educational systems that are based on learning outcomes and competencies. Specifically, the project refers to the European Qualification Framework (EQF), the reference framework adopted by the EU Parliament and Council in April 2008 to establish general criteria for comparing qualification and competencies systems developed and/or adopted in EU countries.
