REVE – Real Virtual Erasmus

1 January 2005 – 31 December 2006

Summary
The REVE project aimed to enhance the impact and efficiency of traditional Erasmus programmes through the development and support of Virtual Erasmus actions. For this
purpose, two main actions were undertaken by the collaborating partners:

• Virtual mobility course actions, in which ‘Real Virtual Erasmus’ is implemented on the basis of new as well as improved existing courses and programmes, with the right blend of virtual and real collaboration between students, teachers, and other knowledge workers across institutional and national borders;
  ▪ Horizontal support actions that enable and provide the necessary services to the first action line: development and implementation of the necessary technological, organisational and pedagogical tools, techniques and services, models and procedures, training.

The main output of the REVE project is the “Virtual Mobility Manual” that introduces Virtual Mobility with all its aspects and advantages to teachers in higher education, to support them while implementing this new aspect of mobility in their course and thus giving students the opportunity to broaden their learning experience. Therefore the manual includes practical
examples of Virtual Erasmus courses with best practices, information on working collaboration models and implementation procedures including those related to key aspects such as localisation, accreditation and agreements.
