English term or phrase: build on
Aparece en un texto acerca del sistema de créditos ECTS:

In such a learner-centred approach, institutions have the role of facilitating and supporting learners in shaping their own learning pathways and helping them to **build on** their individual learning styles and experiences.

Propuesta:
En un enfoque centrado en el estudiante, las instituciones tienen la función de facilitarles la elaboración de sus propios itinerarios de aprendizaje y de ayudarles para que se basen en sus propios estilos y experiencias de aprendizaje.

No sé si se os ocurre algo mejor para ese "build on". ¡Gracias!

enriquecer


Explanation:
El problema es que el verbo a usarse debe funcionar bien con estilos de aprendizaje y experiencias. Por ejemplo, las experiencias no se pueden pulir y las experiencias no progresan.
Creo que el verbo que sugiero suena bien con ambas cosas.
Suerte.

Example sentence(s):
  • ...ayudarles a enriquecer sus estilos... y experiencias.
