This article references a much longer report (67 page PDF) on the topic of self-assessment for digital education providers. The report "presents a review of 20 instruments from around the globe designed for self-assessment of digitally enhanced learning and teaching (DELT) at higher education institutions" (the report itself is only 26 pages, with appendices occupying the last 40 pages). There's a good overview in the NIDL Blog, and makes the points, first, that "the concept of maturity... is potentially problematic if narrowly interpreted as being static or linear in terms of progression," and second, "an overly narrow focus... may not take sufficient account of wider change forces and global developments." All of which is fair enough, but less problematic if we take these assessments to be more descriptive than they are evaluative.
