Pericles or How to Assess and to Improve Quality in Higher Education

The PIA project called PERICLES is a French project with two main objectives. The first one is to offer to Higher Education (HE) institutions a methodology and a digital tool to evaluate the quality of the formation they provide. The second objective is 1) the development of a recommender system able to suggest open educational resources to learners and 2) to identify learning paths based on actual practices in order to compare them to those designed by the trainers. The paper is organized as follows: a first section aims at giving an overview of the project. A second section describes the methodology and the digital tool dedicated to the quality evaluation. A third section is devoted to the recommender system and the paper ends by drawing some perspectives.
