Short description:
Oscar is an online portfolio tool for the identification of competences gained in youth work and adult education in Flanders, Belgium. Oscar is an easy-to-access web-based platform where organisations can generate ‘competence documents’ for the participants of their courses. In order to work with Oscar the organisations should pass an introductory training and receive the user’s manual. The participants/volunteers can create their personal parts in the platform where they can store their ‘competence documents’ received in various activities and engagements.
