The document discusses the maturity framework for blended learning, emphasizing the distinction between quality and maturity within educational institutions. It outlines three maturity levels: ad hoc, consolidated, and strategic, detailing the necessary support, policies, and resources at each level for effective blended learning implementation. The framework highlights the importance of continuous improvement, quality assurance, and institutional commitment to blended education.

- 6. [ 6CC-BY 4.0 The concept of ‘maturity’ relates to the degree of formality and optimization of the design, evidence based decision making, documentation and continuous quality improvement which characterize the uptake of Blended Learning practices, or the implementation of blended learning conditions and strategies. QUALITY ≠ MATURITY Within each of the levels of maturity, quality approaches can be in place. Maturity does not equal quality. Moreover, it has been observed that repeated blended learning practice at a particular maturity level does not carry actual growth in maturity when repeated.

The manner in which an institution supports teachers and students’ blended learning activities
- 15. [ 15CC-BY 4.0 Level 1 Ad Hoc Level 2 Consolidated Level 3 Strategic Individual teachers or departments share ‘blended’ best practices with colleagues. Communities for sharing ‘blended’ best practices are facilitated. Processes and/or platforms are in place for sharing good practices and/or materials. Communities for sharing ‘blended’ best practices are facilitated, actively built and maintained. Processes and platforms are in place for sharing good practices and materials. Processes are in place for quality assurance of the shared materials. The degree to which an institution facilitates communities for sharing blended practices, materials and courses.
- 16. [ 16CC-BY 4.0 Level 1 Ad Hoc Level 2 Consolidated Level 3 Strategic A few different workshops or courses related to blended learning and teaching are offered. Solid efforts to organise workshops and/or courses related to blended learning and teaching are offered for the teaching staff. The blended teaching activities of staff are incidentally recognized. All teaching staff is trained in blended learning and teaching. The institution offers a well aligned portfolio of workshops and/or courses (related to blended learning and teaching) for the continuous professional development of their staff. The blended teaching activities of staff are recognized and valued by the institution. The extent to which teaching staff are able to develop their blended teaching skills.
- 17. [ 17CC-BY 4.0 Level 1 Ad Hoc Level 2 Consolidated Level 3 Strategic No deliberate quality assurance for blended courses, programs, strategy and policies. Special processes for evaluation of blended courses, programs, strategy and policies are developed and implemented. Some research is conducted on blended courses and/or programs. Quality assurance for blended courses is part of the standard quality assurance processes of the institution. The evaluation and improvement are based on clear criteria and multiple data sources. The institution has a research agenda for researching its own courses, programs and education. The process where blended courses, programs, strategy, rules and regulations are evaluated and revised on a regular basis
- 18. [ 18CC-BY 4.0 Level 1 Ad Hoc Level 2 Consolidated Level 3 Strategic Some informal policies, rules, regulations, action plans and guidelines related to blended learning are used in the institution. The institution does not have standardized models for blended course and program design. Policies, rules, regulations, action plans and guidelines related to blended learning are developed and implemented in the institution. Some key actors in the institution are involved in the process of developing new and existing policies, rules, regulations and action plans. Models for blended course and program design are shared in the institution. Policies, rules, regulations, action plans and guidelines related to blended learning are embedded in the standard governance structure of the institution. The governance of the institution is systematically reviewed and adjusted. Key actors, at different levels in the institution, are involved in the process of reviewing, adjusting and developing new and existing policies, rules, regulations and action plans. Standardized models for blended course and program development are provided. The way in which the vision and policies are translated to rules, regulations and actions that facilitate blended education
- 19. [ 19CC-BY 4.0 Level 1 Ad Hoc Level 2 Consolidated Level 3 Strategic No allocation of financial resources specifically for blended learning purposes. Financial resources are incidentally allocated (e.g. projects, pilots) to develop, support, stimulate and improve blended learning and teaching. The allocation of the resources is evaluated. Financial resources are structurally allocated to develop, support, stimulate and improve blended learning, teaching and blended education. The allocation of the resources is systematically evaluated and adjusted, based on clear criteria and qualitative and quantitative data. The extent to which financial resources are allocated to develop, support, and stimulate blended learning

Editor's Notes
- #10: COURSE DESIGN PROCESS - The process of planning, designing, developing and evaluating a blended learning course Selection of blended learning activities and their sequencing - The rationale for the deliberate selection and integration of face-to-face and online learning activities. Selection of blended learning tools - The rationale for selecting tools for delivery and organisation of blended learning activities COURSE FLEXIBILITY – Opportunities for learners to adjust particular features of the blended learning course, based on their needs and preferences. This includes features such as the selection of learning activities, the selection of resources, the mode of delivery (online/face-to-face activities), pace (educator-paced/self-paced). COURSE INTERACTION – Extent to which the blended course facilitates learners’ interaction (learner-content, learner-learner, learner-educator) COURSE EXPERIENCE - Fit of particular blended course components with the course outcomes Student learning - The use of blended course features which facilitate students' self- regulated learning (orienting and planning, monitoring, adjusting and evaluating). Study load - The match between the intended and achieved study load of a course (distribution and correctness). Inclusiveness - The consideration for the diverse needs (including accessibility aspects) and backgrounds of all students to create an online and face-to-face course experience where all students feel valued, safe, have a sense of belonging, and where all students have equal access to learn.
- #11: PROGRAMME DESIGN PROCESS The process of planning, designing, developing and evaluating a blended learning programme. Programme coherence The vertical (course-programme) and horizontal alignment (between courses) of a blended programme. Alignment and coherence of blended learning tools The rationale for the alignment and coherence of educational tools in blended learning programmes. PROGRAMME FLEXIBILITY Opportunities for learners to adapt particular features of the blended learning programme. This includes features like the selection of courses/tracks, the mode of delivery (blended course, online course, traditional course), workload (full time/part time), pace (institution paced/self-paced), progress in a programme, and the possibility to follow courses at other institutions. PROGRAMME EXPERIENCE The extent to which a programme enhances students' learning and eliminates any obstacles that stand in the way of learning.
