Blended Learning : What Works

After nearly 2 years of research in blended learning, and detailed interviews with more than 30 companies, we find that blended learning is replacing “e-learning” as the next big thing. Our research finds that blended learning programs are perhaps the highest impact, lowest cost way to drive major corporate initiatives. Companies have discovered unique and powerful methodologies for selecting the “right media” to solve a given business problem. The biggest challenges companies face include technology and the change management and business processes required to roll out major programs. Results: Blended Learning solves the problem of speed, scale, and impact – and leverages e-learning where it’s most appropriate, without forcing e-learning into places it does not fit.

Blended Learning is the latest buzzword in corporate training. It sounds so simple – mixing e-learning with other types of training delivery. But now that internet-training is so widespread, where does it fit? What are the best ways to “blend” delivery types? Will the term “blended learning” replace e-learning?

Blended Learning Model

The term blended learning is used to describe a solution that combines several different delivery methods, such as collaboration software, Web-based courses, EPSS, and knowledge management practices. Blended learning also is used to describe learning that mixes various event-based activities, including face-to-face classrooms, live e-learning, and self-paced learning. Unfortunately, there’s no single formula that guarantees learning, but here are some guidelines from NIIT on how to order your learning activities. What are the key features of each approach? In which situations is an approach adopted? What blended techniques can be adopted to enhance learning?
