Abstract: To quickly cope with the COVID-19 pandemic, universities shifted to complete remote delivery. Remote learning is the area of education that concentrates on technology and methods of teaching aimed at delivering to students who are not physically present on individualised bases. This type of delivery is of advantage, when planned. The technology and capabilities to provide comprehensive remote delivery for some degrees do not exist at present time. This article proposes an outline for the required elements of an effective instructional delivery framework that will enable higher-education institutions to meet standards, maintain pedagogical flexibility and to assure quality of the learning outcome of their remote and blended delivery. The above will take place within an overall conceptual design that is capable of effectively handling the new environmental challenges and therefore, will lead to a quality instructional delivery system that can be used in iterative cycles of faculty use and feedback.
