Why Blend?

Considering that both classroom training and eLearning have their strengths and limitations, what would be a better strategy than blending these two modes of delivery?

Yes! This is exactly what blended learning is all about. Here are the various ways you can incorporate blended learning into your organization:

  1.  Prepare your employees before classroom training using eLearning courses to kindle their desire to learn more.
  2. Assess your employees after classroom training using online assessments to reinforce what had been learned.
  3. Add more depth to your classroom training by incorporating microlearning nuggets during sessions.
