8. Dimension: Recognition of Open Learning (Recognition)
Recognition of open learning is crucial for formalizing knowledge acquired in flexible and open environments and has two main aspects.
Issuing formal accreditation is a process usually conducted by an accredited institution, and refers to the issuance of a certificate, diploma, or title that has formal value, even if the learning took place informally. This process includes a formal assessment of the individual's acquired knowledge and skills.
The second aspect is the process of formal acceptance, such as digital badges, certificates, or diplomas issued by a third-party institution. Such acceptance serves as proof that a set of learning outcomes (knowledge, skills, and/or competencies) achieved by an individual has been assessed by a competent body.
