Individuals move across educational institutions, learning modes <strong>and</strong> borders for further<br />

study <strong>and</strong> employment purpose. Properly provenanced learning credentials can be carried<br />

across institutes <strong>and</strong> borders <strong>and</strong> be recognised, thus facilitate individuals’ mobility.<br />

Provenance is the origin or source from which an item comes, <strong>and</strong> the history <strong>of</strong> subsequent<br />

owners or pro<strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong> authenticity. Provenance data has been collected <strong>and</strong> used in areas such as<br />

online learning, social networks, <strong>and</strong> e-science research for a range <strong>of</strong> uses. This workinprogress<br />

paper models the existing workflows adopted by higher education institutions on<br />

assessing qualifications using MEASUR method. The workflow model has implications on<br />

the collection <strong>of</strong> provenance data <strong>of</strong> learning credentials for authentication <strong>and</strong> verification<br />

purpose.<br />
