scope:

The present document defines a model for the recording and exchange of learner achievement information among student management information systems, as well as the aggregation of information by third party suppliers. The model proposed within this CWA is not intended to define the representation of the entire spectrum of Learner Mobility information. The scope of the standard is restricted to the definition of the electronic representation of official, institutionally attested achievement information for learners engaged in formal learning processes, in order to facilitate its recording and subsequent exchange within the European Education Area. Achievement Information structured and presented in compliance with this standard may of course be used for other purposes - for instance, providing descriptions of achievement to enrich a learner-owned report, in terms of an e-portfolio. However, guidance on the specification and organisation of information for purposes other than the representation of formal achievement reports is outside the scope of this standard. The EuroLMAI model has been developed as: - a lightweight standard taking into consideration existing and emerging educational practice processes and the relevant European policies - an easy-to-implement standard in order to ensure a rapid uptake by stakeholders of learning, education and training throughout Europe (Higher Education Institutions, learners, employers, service providers, etc.)
