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 level, 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.
