through collaborative efforts and tools like the Benchmarking Framework, we are shaping the future of higher
education. We are dedicated to cultivating an educational environment that nurtures a highly competent
generation, playing a pivotal role in propelling the UAE's transformation into one of the most inventive nations
worldwide.”
Prof. Hassan, Vice-Chancellor for International Cooperation at HBMSU, said: “Benchmarking Online
Learning goes beyond being a mere tool; it represents a strategic approach to ensuring quality in education.
Our workshop highlighted the profound impact of benchmarking on molding the trajectory of online education
in the future. In this era of digital transformation, upholding academic integrity and quality stands as a top
priority. The Benchmarking Framework designed for Online, Open, Smart, and Technology-Enhanced Higher
Education reflects our dedication to achieving excellence. By sharing insights at the ANQAHE conference,
we have extended an invitation to fellow educators and institutions to embrace digital pedagogy and harness
innovative tools to enhance higher education on a global scale.”
The Benchmarking Framework for Online, Open, Smart, and Technology-Enhanced Higher Education serves
as an assessment tool for online and open universities, identifying strengths and vulnerabilities to benchmark
themselves in the rapidly evolving higher education landscape. Developed collectively by members of the
International Consortium for Benchmarking Framework for Online, Open, Smart, and Technology-Enhanced
Higher Education, including experts from online and open universities, quality assurance agencies, and
higher education associations, the Framework addresses unique aspects of online education and the rising
need for quality assurance.
