Facilitating Access to Cross-Border Learning Services and Environments with eIDAS

摘要

Learners face various challenges when accessing cross-border learning services or collaborating with learners from other countries in shared learning environments. This paper shows how the elDAS Regulation can be used for enabling seamless registration to learning services and access to the learning content, as well as facilitating transmission of the personal academic information in an electronic form from reliable sources. Several eID4U improvements to existing procedures and learning services are proposed, including three upgraded cross-border e-services based on electronic identities and trusted sources of academic information. The improvements help learning service providers improving the reliability of the identification of foreign learners, while at the same time reducing the administrative burden in dealing with such learners.
