Training material development on VM curriculum designing was lead by VMU and KUL with the involvement of other partners. E-learning centres' staff or other staff members from consortium institutions worked collaboratively online to develop training material with practical assignments and templates, as well as video or audio explanations on how to design VM curriculum and what are peculiarities in such process.
4.2 Planning VM organization
The following VM process phases are referred to in this training material:
- Decision making;
- Curriculum design;
- Implementation;
- Accreditation and recognition.
According to a number of VM researchers (Morrone, et al., 2006; Haywood, et al., 2007; Op de Beeck, Bijnens, & Van Petegem, 2008; Vriens & Van Petegem, 2012), mobility process can be divided into 3 stages – before, during and after mobility. More explicitly it can be divided into the stages of preparation, implementation or process realization, and post mobility activities, and practice recognition.
All those types of categorization may be applied for virtual mobility, however the selection of VM division into stages is selected and detailed to explain the steps, necessary to implement for VM organization process.
