About

Interoperability is a complex and layered concept that is often difficult to express in plain language. Yet, interoperability forms the foundation of nearly every change initiative we tackle for the transformation of education. Since 2023, a multidisciplinary team has been working on developing a visual language for interoperability. This visual language, incorporated into various communication tools, supports discussions about interoperability in education.

This project is part of the initiatives of Technology Infrastructure (DSV), part of Npuls, a National Growth Fund programme by and for all public vocational and education training schools, universities of applied sciences and research universities in The Netherlands.
