E-Viva aims at the creation of a blended learning approach to facilitate and validate competence developments related to service orientation in rather informal learning contexts in higher education institutes and workplace learning contexts. It will contribute to evidencing those competencies that are of fundamental importance in the service economy and that are acquired to a large extent in non-formalized learning contexts. With its approach to combining Higher education and professional practice, e-VIVA will contribute to improved transparency of the acquired competencies in a transnational comparative approach. Nevertheless, it will provide learning and validation opportunities in highly contextualized and individualized learning settings. With this, it will also open new learning pathways and eventually also lead to a better matching of learning contents and individual learning styles (preferences). This project is led by the European University of Tirana and it has a budget of approximately 1 million euros.
