3 key areas for success • Standards • Vendor engagement and commitment • Community support

1. Standards

Deliverables • Business cases and business models • Architecture options for sharing and verifying the HEAR • Information model and XML schema

Coordination with europe • Converging HEAR with European standards for Diploma Supplement and ECTS – CEN/ISSS TC 353 – Work Item “Learner Mobility Model” – Engagement by CEDEFOP, CETIS, vendors • Groundwork already laid: MLO standard

Coordination with suppliers • Working with Digitary on identifying architecture options for use of Advanced Electronic Signatures and tamper evident records

Coordination with other UK agencies • MIAP – Mapping HEAR specifications to MIAP Learner Record • HESA – Mapping HEAR specifications to HESA return • ISB – Coordination with PLOT SIG at ISB

What you can do for us • Tell us what you want to achieve with the HEAR • Show us examples of the reports you want to create • Tell us about your business models and partnerships for the HEAR • Tell us which systems and suppliers you are working with

2. Suppliers

Supplier engagement and commitment • RS3G is an existing community in Europe for suppliers of HE student systems interested in standards • CETIS has been involved with RS3G since its inception • RS3G has already indicated that graduate documents are a key area

What’s next • RS3G working meeting in December focused on technical standards for Diploma Supplement

What you can do for us • Tell us who your suppliers are and we’ll work on getting them into this network – Oracle/Peoplesoft, Aggresso already active members

3. Community

Where are the technical experts?

• Most of them already work in your institutions – Registry – MIS – IT Services • Others are working for your suppliers – MIS, SRS, HR… • A few work for us ;-)

Our approach • Provide opportunities for community self-support • Connecting communities with standards bodies, external agencies, vendor consortia • Strategic interventions: publications, events
