Blended learning: why everything old is new again - but better

"Blended learning is a powerful training solution that combines e-learning with a variety of other delivery methods for a superior learning experience. This article reveals what makes blended learning so powerful, and how to choose the right mix of delivery methods for the best blend of skill enhancement and sustainability to ensure a company's long-term competitive advantage." Caroline Gray, Learning Circuits, March 2006

Reviewer's Note:
Caroline summarises: "The obvious advantage of the blended learning solution is that learning becomes a process, rather than an event. Blended learning puts training into the job environment, provides a forum for every learning style, includes reinforcement and coaching, and uses minimum effort and resources to gain maximum results."



Building a successful blended learning strategy

"There seems to be reluctance in transitioning instructor-led training (ILT) to a blended learning format. This may be due to resistance on the part of the organization or training department to change existing classroom session formats. Another reason I believe is more prevalent is not knowing how. " Michael McGinnis, L&TI Newsline, 23 June 2005

Brewing the perfect blend

"Today, 3Com is moving toward a blended learning approach that provides solutions to internal and external sales people, 500 partners and 350 end users. O'Brien and her team examine what each training initiative requires rather than what would be the flashiest solution. Before they determine the delivery method, they consider the content, the audience, how fast the training needs to get to the audience, length of shelf life, budget constraints and available experts." Gail Johnson, trainingmag.com, January 2004

Blended Learning and business change

"Over the past few years, training professionals have become more pragmatic in their approach to technology-based media by using it to augment traditional forms of training delivery, such as classroom instruction and text-based materials. This trend has led to the rise of the term "blended learning." The term has come to mean different things to different people. IDC defines blended learning programs in the corporate training world as any possible combination of a wide range of learning delivery media designed to solve specific business problems." Michael Brennan, Chief Learning Officer Magazine, January 2004

Reviewer's Note:
"This study, as well as other IDC research, has demonstrated that as learning's recognition as an enabler of other business processes increases, it will be better integrated into daily work."
