Normative Framework for Blended Learning
Synopsis
The chapter analyses the normative framework that defines the conditions for implementing blended learning in the Slovenian higher education space. The authors, on behalf of the entire group of researchers, present the current legislation, strategic documents and implementing regulations, especially in the context of the Higher Education Act and the Rules on Standards and Norms. They conclude that the current regulation does not fully follow modern forms of education, such as blended learning, and that there is a lack of clear provisions on minimum standards, quality of implementation and digital support. The need to modernize the legislation is highlighted, which would allow for greater flexibility while maintaining high quality requirements. The chapter emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive systemic regulation that will support the sustainable and effective integration of blended learning.
