Framework for Design Modern Higher Education
The framework for design modern higher education provides a clear, evidence‑based approach to blended learning course design. It positions the teachers in higher education as skilled educators who purposefully shape learning experiences. The framework supports the teachers with practical tools, modular templates and technology‑supported and IT and AI‑supported pedagogical methods that can be adapted across disciplines and international contexts.
