Abstract:
Access to cross-border education has shown a continued increase over the last two decades. The expansion of online teaching and learning has played a role in enabling increased student mobility resulting in potential widening of employability. Accreditation plays a pivotal role in recognizing degree programmes to support student mobility. Sri Lanka’s higher education system is also attempting to enhance student mobility while challenged by the accreditation process. The accreditation process emphasizes the visibility of teaching and learning structures and adherence to set standards. This article presents the concept of online curriculum development and accreditation support system proposed as part of the Erasmus+ co-funded project FOUNTAIN aiming at standardizing curriculum development and facilitating controlled visibility of study programmes. The proposed system can be expanded to be deployed at the country level after testing and reviewing.
