Di­git­al Learn­ing Agree­ments

With the implementation of Erasmus Without Paper (EWP), Learning Agreements will also be created digital.
The creation of a digital Learning Agreement is intended for Erasmus+ students who participate in an Erasmus+ exchange exclusively within the framework of the exchange between Programme Countries. Students participating in the Erasmus+ Partner Countries Programme (International Credit Mobility / ICM) are currently still excluded from this. Students from our partner universities outside the Erasmus+ programme do not need an OLA either.

There are dif­fer­ent ways to cre­ate a di­git­al Learn­ing Agree­ment.

For example, it is possible to create a Digital Learning Agreement (DLA) via a mobility management software (MoveOn, Mobilty Online, SoleMove etc.). Another possibility is the creation of an Online Learning Agreement (OLA). The EU has developed the OLA platform for this purpose.

Paderborn University - has decided to have Digital Learning Agreements created via Mobility Online. However, important for you is: No matter whether you create a DLA or an OLA, all Erasmus+ universities are connected via the EWP network. This means that even if your home university claims to create an OLA or a DLA via another mobility management software, we will receive it as a DLA in Mobility Online and vice versa.

Important: Your home university decides how you create the Learning Agreement. If you are unsure, please contact your home university.

Ein Learning Agreement ist im Erasmus+ Programm ein verpflichtendes Dokument und das Vorliegen eines komplett unterschriebenen Learning Agreements ist Voraussetzung für den Erhalt des Erasmus+ Stipendiums. Eine Deadline ist dabei unsererseits für unsere Incoming Austauchstudierenden nicht vorgesehen. In der Regel hat jedoch Ihre Heimatuniversit?t eine Deadline, bitte erfragen 360直播吧 diese rechtzeitig.

Wenn 360直播吧 ein Digitales Learning Agreement (DLA) über die Mobilit?tsmanagement Software Ihrer Heimatuniversit?t erstellen, k?nnen 360直播吧 dieselben Ansprechpartner / Kontaktpersonen angeben, die in den unten folgenden Informationen zum OLA angegeben sind - siehe dazu Schritt 3 Angaben der "Receiving Institution".
