Reference model EMBED
Developing and organising blended education requires a different way of working. In a European context, KU Leuven and TU Delft, among others, have worked on the EMBED reference model. This model looks at three levels: the subject levelaa, the programme level and the institution level. EMBED provides criteria and tools to assess the maturity of blended education and innovation. In addition, the model helps guide change within the institution.
The ict motion sensor
Organising blended education means rethinking and adapting educational designs. But is your institution ready for this?
The Integral ICT Movement Sensor, developed by the Teacher Professionalisation zone of the Acceleration Plan, helps to explore this. This tool encourages conversations within institutions about the state of educational innovation with ICT and what steps are needed to innovate successfully.
