Abstract

La mobilità virtuale (VM) è definita come l’insieme di attività supportate da ITC, organizzate a livello istituzionale, che realizzano o facilitano esperienze collaborative internazionali, in un contesto di insegnamento e apprendimento. Alcune esperienze di ricerca segnalano la necessità di sostenere la mobilità virtuale seguendo i principi dell’Educazione Aperta. L’Educazione Aperta è un approccio educativo che valorizza l’uso di tecnologie digitali, quali OER e MOOC. L'obiettivo del presente lavoro è duplice: in primo luogo, descrivere l’approccio teorico alla qualità adottato all’interno del progetto Erasmus+ Open Virtual Mobility per OER e MOOC; in secondo luogo, presentare un’applicazione dell’approccio alla qualità attraverso uno studio di caso nel quale sono stati raccolti e analizzati i dati sull’esperienza di 11 utenti di un MOOC al fine di implementarne la qualità.
