I-HE2020 The European Maturity Model for Blended Education
•
1 like•332 views
The document describes the development of the European Maturity Model for Blended Education (EMBED). It was created through a strategic partnership to provide a reference model for developing and implementing blended learning at higher education institutions. The model considers blended learning at the course, program, and institutional levels. It was developed through a literature review and interviews with experts. A conceptual framework was created containing dimensions and indicators to assess maturity. The model was validated through a Delphi study with experts achieving over 75% consensus. Next steps include creating a self-assessment tool and implementation guidelines.

EMBED as strategic partnership 2CC-BY 4.0 • About introducing innovation in higher education by the implementation of blended learning (b-learning) • We will create a reference model for developing and implementing blended learning, embracing all levels of an institution: the design of the blended course, organisational aspects such as staff support and training, and institutional leadership, developing policies and strategies making the institution continuously innovative. • The partnership consists of frontrunner universities in b-learning European wide.

- 16. BL PRACTICES: Drivers & Enablers
- 17. Drivers • Individual drivers: • Enrich the learning experience: • Focus on problem solving • Focus on authentic cases • Supporting engagement and building a community outside of the classroom “For 25 years I have been trying to find ways of helping students with turning theory into conceptual thinking and into problem solving” “To free up class time and try to replace that for conceptual thinking” • More interactive teaching “[until now the normal way of teaching] was the teacher standing up at the blackboard … and the students sitting in the chairs… so we want to change that form of teaching into a …. more interactive form of education.”
- 18. Drivers • Individual drivers: • Skills for the students’ future careers • They should learn to work in a team and collaborate (outside the classroom) • Students need to learn how to use various tools • They need to learn to search for reliable information • They need to learn to apply theories in practice • Flexibility & internationalization • Reaching International students or students living far from the campus • Reaching students with certain disabilities or a different educational context • Personal interests • Experimenting with tools, new ways of teaching • Doing research on teaching methods
- 19. Drivers • Internal institutional drivers : • Improve success rate “So 70% of the influx [should] obtain their bachelor’s degree within four years, that was more or less the main goal” • University-level strategy “There is a strong hint [from our university] that things should be blended, or online” “The one big driver was the university statement, I think 2 years ago, that they would expect all students to have the opportunity to take at least one fully online course.” • External drivers : • Requirements: • Managing assignments for large groups of students , peer reviews, … PANDEMIC?
- 20. Enablers Enablers (THAT WORK) • Support in the development of online materials, e.g. videos • Funding from various sources, e.g. from faculty • Extra staff, e.g. teaching assistants • Follow-up, e.g. sharing experiences with colleagues • Technical, either centralized or faculty-based help desks • Project-oriented approach within a design team (>< ’find your way’) • Time for development • Peer pressure • …
- 21. SOME CHALLENGES & FUTURE TRENDS - Applying learning analytics on a more advanced level - Recommender systems - Predictive next to descriptive analytics - …. - Inserting adaptivity in a BL approach - E.g. “So more basic exercises for the ones who need it. And then more challenging for the ones who can handle that…”. - E.g. “It would be wise [to do it like this:] ‘This is the minimum that you have to do and this is the exam for that. And you get a six or a seven. No more. But if you’re willing to take up a challenge, this is the target exam for an eight. And if you really want to be challenged, there’s a third exam. I think it would help them. ‘ “ - Dealing with very large groups (e.g. + 400 students) - ‘MOOC style’ teaching - COVID19 – Individual drivers?
- 22. Don’t fall into the trap of thinking that if you make the material crisp and clear, as nice as you can, that all your problems are gone. Be very sensitive of whether the material is not too good, so that your students have the impression that they understand that, they did understand the story but they don’t understand the concept. I think it's worthwhile doing so. But they have to be aware that it will cost time. It will not save you time. It will probably increase the efficiency of the course, but it will not save you time as a lecturer. Don’t make everything blended … And so the good things from the past, the good old lectures : keep them ! And next to this, do things with a team ! A team of 2 or 3 is enough. And then you have to go for it, mind the details, the quality of audio and video, appointments with students, a study guide. Choose your pet project and go for quality and detail.
