The 'European Maturity Model for Blended Education in Europe', EMBED, is developed by a consortium of frontrunner universities in blended and online education: KU Leuven, TU Delft, The University of Edinburgh, Aarhus University, Dublin City University and Tampere University of Applied Sciences. It is coordinated by EADTU and funded by the European Commission.
Goal:
This training will be an opportunity to learn about state of the art of blended learning, teaching, and education. You will learn how to apply new concepts in the context of your university. There will be presentations about blended learning adoption in a number of European institutions.
The participants will further be introduced to the multidimensional maturity model for course design and on the institutional strategies needed in order to implement it.
The training event focuses on the institutional and organisational level of blended learning. How are institutions organising support to the development of blended learning?
