- Paikalla: Eva Neffling (EDUFI), Antti Laitinen (CSC), Annica Moore (EDUFI), Mika Launikari (Everis/Europass), Janne (Reaktor)
- Short introductions
- Mika's role in Europass is to ensure the guidance and user-driven experience. Mainly he is busy with the content production.
- The big picture of Europass is looking chaotic. The launching is in Spring 2020.
- Europass Case Study - background
- Has come from the commission without a proper guidance - the main point: what's useful for all parties?
- The approach and the budgets are different in CompLeap and Europass but for example the goals are similar.
- A lot of architecture work has been done in CompLeap which could be useful for the chaotic development phase of Europass.
- An algorithm is something that can "live" after the CompLeap project is over but we should also keep in mind the future after the project is over from other perspectives too.
- How does the guidance is shown in Case Study?
- What does the guidance mean in this case? Mika:- is the service user-friendly - does it support lifelong learning - learning, career development, jobhunt
- Europass: A user study in September - individual end-user can use the prototype
- Is the Europass proto available? - At first it will be availbe in a closed group.
- In the long run Europass has a will to build similar features than in CompLeap's interests - Mika has made a research about this for William - some kind of version released in the spring 2020
- What kind of data the suggestion system is using in Europass?
- user profile
- Ploteus (learning opportunities and qualifications) - Europass Advisory group: the criteria of how education programmes and education opportunities can be searched is still "in the air"; the priority is in the higher education - How the information is got from the member countries is a big question?
- CompLeap has couple of potential international deployment partners that could offer an example what kind of national data is available
- Funding has been given previously to member countries concerning Ploteus - which wasn't really thought through - it is not a sustainable solution for transferring education information
- EURES collaboration (job opportunities)
- CompLeap prototype: focus on algorithm and education opportunities
- In development: a section where ESCO competence will be visible
- PoC is part of a competence profile in a bigger context - in PoC a bigger vision is tested in a smaller scale
- Are the results plausible? How satisfied are we?
- HTML prototype is similar to Europass prototype
- At the moment too much is tried in Europass in relation to schedule
- Competence vs. skills - according to commission "competence" shouldn't be used
- Strong authentication: Does the information come directly or is it transferred? A difficult question - people with a long education history make it scrappy - the main thought is the automatism - not like in LinkedIn where a user can add anything they want
- Algorithm: What kind of problems have been solved?
- It has been done in natural language - the education related descriptions - is written for a human user
- By machine learning semantic meanings are sought
- combined with interests a service offers suggestions
- Challenges:
- The approach requires that the text needs to be similar: eRequirements - the descriptions of the education is written in the "official language"
- the used data needs to be similar in quality
- Emphasis: what information is more meaningful than other?
- Prior education + interests - only limited amount of data is used
- Work experience and the education history is empasized so that the most recent ones are prioritised
- Next steps
- Europass Architecture
- Meeting in August - September
- Valentina Azzarella (Everis)
- William is on a Holiday until 20th August
- Mika will contact Eva
