For Technology-enabled Learning (TEL) to be effective, educational institutions need to quality assure the teaching and learning processes. To support institutions in upholding the quality of the design and delivery of TEL, COL developed a quality assurance tool for this mode of delivery, Quality Assurance Rubric for Blended Learning. You are encouraged to read this resource to get ideas on how you can quality assure technology enabled learning in your context. You are also encouraged to watch the video Quality Assurance Rubric for Blended Learning, which is based on the same tool:
