Study

for the development

of a common language

for the transfer of academic information

SCANet

Aims

• Facilitate student mobility

• Facilitate the agreements of the Bologna Declaration

• Reduce university resources

SCANet

Concept

Set of codes orientated towards obtaining a common language, which once accepted by the agents involved in academic management, simplifies the transfer of information on :

Enrolments - Marks - Records - Certificates ...

Realities

• Each university sends the data in a different way

• The transfer is manual

• In each case the system is personalised

• There is no clarity

• There is no harmonisation of forms

• There are no standards of register

SCANet

Contribution of Scanet

To develop normalised standards for registering the information to be transferred so it can be interpreted by everyone involved

+ +

These standards constitute a common base language of the

Digital University :

Virtuality and Transparency between users and servers

Who is sending Who it is sent to What is sent

Phases of the study

Ist Phase. Define unitary register codes

2nd Phase. Develop normalised standards for registering the information to be transferred that can be interpreted by everyone implicated

These standards constitute a common base language of the

Digital University : Virtuality and Transparency between users and servers

Who is sending Who it is sent to What is sent

SCANet

Phase 1

The code is the address on a mail envelope for sending electronically.

Phase 2

The Norms are the way of preparing internal documents

Phase 3

The harmonisation is the homologation of common documents and procedures

Components of the address

Root

Identifies a person individually for any university

Avoids potential duplications through two prefixes: COUNTRY + REGION

A person will always use this code if he or she enrols in more than one university

Guarantees the academic “traceability” curriculum of a student

Each country uses the system it desires

SCANet

Components of the address

Variable: International Standard EAN/128 Location Code

It is an international standard

It depends on national assignment

There is a single international register

It allows identification: Universities-Centres-Departments-books-subjects

It can be used as an ISBN code for internal publications

It meets the standards for bar code readers

Advantages of the EAN/128 code

• The code constitutes a unique international address for any student from anywhere in the world

• A supranational organism, EAN, assigns and registers the university codes. There is no national dependence

• It is homologated by the coding in bar codes for use in labels, and other uses such as in Exams

• Homologated for computerised systems

SIMILARITY WITH BANK MANAGEMENT

The banks developed the CCC in 1979

Later, norms have been developed for each process

to be implemented and accepted by the users

Similarities

The development of the Scanet project is similar

Firstly, a student code is defined

Then, norms are developed for each process

to be implemented by agreement between universities
