The Benefits of Blending Learning
Blended learning is not new.However,in the past,blended learning was comprised of physical classroom formats,such as lectures,labs,books,or handouts.Today,organizations have a myriad of learning approaches and choices.The concept of blended learning is rooted in the idea that learning is not just a one-time event-learning is a continuous process.Blending provides various benefits over using any single learning delivery medium alone.
Extending the Reach
A single delivery mode inevitably limits the reach of a learning program or critical knowledge transfer in some form or fashion.For example,a physical classroom training program limits the access only to those who can participate at a fixed time and location,whereas a virtual classroom event is inclusive of remote audiwnces and,when followed up with recorede knowledge objects(abil-ity to playback a recordedlive event),can extend th reach to those who could not attend at a specif-ic time.
Optimizing Development Cost and Time
Combining different delivery modes has the potential to balance out and optimize the learning program development and deployment costs and time.A totally online,self-paced,media-rich,Web-based training content may be too expensive to produce(requiring multiple resources and skills),but generic off-the-shelf WBT,documents,case studies,recorded E-learning events,text assignments,and PowerPoint presentations(requiring quicker turn-around time and lower skill to produce)may be just as effective or even more effective.
