5. Students’ feedback Long survey Short student feedback movie
All students on exchange the last two years
Short student feedback movie
Short survey
Part of EMREX field trial process
If EMREX was available for you, would you be willing to use it?

6. Evaluation of user experience

7. EMREX+ Expanding the network

8. EMREX+ New functionality
New scenarios
Internal mobility, Admission, Joint degrees, Recruitment, Student loan
Enhanced data set
Diploma Supplement, Additional standardized data, Descriptions
Standardization
Architecture, Data

9. Fair information practices
Principle: The individual should be in control of their data
Limit the use of data, gain access to their own data, make corrections where appropriate

10. How does this applies to GDN
Secure and reliable way to transfer achievements, with the student in charge of the process
Privacy rights
Ownership of data
Access to data
Forwarding and sharing data
Compatibility of data
Autonomy and diversity of systems

Creation of the EWP Hub.
Integration with other projects (OLA, ESC, EMREX).

16. EMREX and EWP compared – 1
Stakeholders, beneficiaries, ownership of the business process, responsibility
Data range, data model, data format, data availability, source of data
Authorization, privacy, security, digital signatures, data exchange protocols
Integration with local processes (with necessary changes, depending on the cultural context)

17. EMREX and EWP compared – 2
Dissemination, scalability, sustainability, steadily growing set of services (open vs. closed)
Central registry, open source published in GitHub (specifications, code)
Desirable convergence process 
Common platform with one registry, complementary set of digital services offered by HEIs, users decide which services to use (deliver), common set of rules (e.g. for accepting new partners)
