The document discusses the EMBED framework for assessing the level of embeddedness of blended learning at higher education institutions. It provides descriptions of three levels - ad hoc, consolidated, and strategic - for 12 dimensions of embeddedness. These dimensions include institutional strategy, support, sharing of best practices, professional development, quality assurance, governance, finances, and facilities. The document encourages using the framework to discuss the current maturity level of an institution, how it may need to change due to COVID-19, and formulating action points for improvement.
