Objectives

The objectives of the REVE project are to enhance the impact and efficiency of the Erasmus programme through the set-up of and support for a full-fletched virtual Erasmus action;

(1) as a complement to the existing Erasmus exchange programmes in which virtual Erasmus can be used to prepare and follow-up the physical mobility or/and take courses at the home university while staying abroad;

(2) to embed networked e-learning (in transnational collaboration of teachers and students) as an integrated part in mainstream higher education, aiming at transferability, scalability and sustainability: joint programme and course development, joint learning activities as virtual integrated elements of blended learning, ‘following’ (e.g. elective) courses abroad in a virtual mode;

(3) to develop and provide the necessary technical, pedagogical and organizational services to guarantee these objectives to be realised.
