Abstract
The paper describes the results of the study, the aim of which was to create an information model of an open-source network portal offering Gig education services to the academic workforce, students, and institutions to meet educational and employment needs by solving job and course search problems within the common EU education space. The model is constructed as a competence-based unit using digital standards, whereas its architecture is constructed considering further model’s extension, enhancement, and User Experience recommendations of education management systems. The key contribution of this study is the mod-el on the Web Portal as Open Education Resource, which makes the EU border-less online education mobility a reality by joining the main education market players in one virtual space on a continuous basis irrespective of geographical residence. This model integrates the EU values of social and professional justice, as students have more opportunities to satisfy their educational curiosity, while educators receive tools to overcome the lack of teaching, research, information, and financial opportunities in their current location.
