6. Conclusion Virtual Mobility represents a great opportunity to contribute to the students and educatorsinternationalisation. ICT are supposed to guarantee the same benefits as one would have withphysicalmobility,butwithout theneed to travel.Thus, it is required that technologiesemployedare carefully planned and continuous revised. This paper provides guidelines useful to design aVirtualMobilityexperiencebasedontheuseofMOOCsandOERs.Theguidelinesare inspiredbypreviousexperiencesofVirtualMobilityandliteratureanalysis.OurMOOCisstructuredin8mini-MOOCs,correspondingtothe8skillsidentifiedintheO1,thatareInterculturalskills,Collaborativelearning, Autonomy-driven learning, Networked learning,Media and digital learning, Active Self-regulatedlearning,OpenmindednessandVirtualMobilityknowledge.Eachmini-MOOCisdividedinabasic,intermediateandadvancelevel.Thisorganizationsupportself-regulatedprocesses,becausemakeclearfortheMOOCusersthelearningpathtofollow.Aftercompletingtheactivities,studentsare required to fill in different kinds of e-assessment such as summative assessment and peer-assessment(O4)necessarytoobtainanopenbadge(O5).
