Negotiating Binaries in Modes of Provision: A Higher Education Practice Standard for Blended and Online Learning

抄録

The Council on Higher Education（ CHE） in South Africa was legislated into being through the Higher Education Act（ Act No. 101 of 1997）, with the primary responsibility for quality assurance in higher education. As part of the implementation of its new Quality Assurance Framework （QAF）, the CHE is developing a number of new Higher Education Practice Standards（ HEPS）. In this paper, we reflect on the process of developing the HEPS as an exercise in reflexive practice for the community of practice responsible for developing the standard. The paper also brings the HEPS for Modes of Learning and Teaching Provision into focus, offering insight into the standard as a clear example of the CHE’s new reflexivegenerative methodology.
