BLENDED LEARNING
Combine face-to-face training with elearning to increase learner retention while saving time and money
To blend traditional training with eLearning
Blended learning is the interdependent combination of face-to-face and online education:
1. Save time and money – shorten the duration of time spent in face-to-face training by transforming sections of your face-to-face course into self-paced, interactive eLearning either before or after classroom training.
2. Ease the cognitive load on your learners with eLearning prerequisites that your participants can access prior to attending the face-to-face session. Learners will walk into your training room already familiar with some key concepts covered in face-to-face training, while facilitators can utilise the extra time on focusing on the big ticket items in a face-to-face environment.
3. Maximise learner retention by combining eLearning modules as a pre or post-training activity that reinforces and supports your face-to-face training with gentle repetition. Be it assessments, quizzes, scenarios or short recaps to help your participants apply the skills they learn in a face to face setting
WHY ELEARNING
Can your organisation afford not to join the trend?
Interactivity
Learners interact with simulations, quizzes, games, graphics, animations and videos, and flip, drag and drop items around the screen while learning. Instead of reading pages of text or sitting through a presentation, learners can be engaged in the material, which increases retention and engagement.
eLearning is scalable
You can roll it out to as many learners as you need, and it is a one-time investment that does not require repetition by a facilitator.
On Demand
Learners can access content anywhere, anytime and on demand. Today’s learners are engaged in short, mobile, self-paced, and customised content available at their fingertips as many times as they need without having to worry about attending a scheduled zoom or classroom session.
Full Quality Control
In face-to-face or zoom sessions, every instructor has their own method of delivering. Each varies in approach and style and is susceptible to mistakes. You can eliminate these issues with e-learning. Online learning provides consistent and standarised learning every time.
Save time & money
Factoring in loss of productivity, paying for an facilitator, travel time, time away from work to attend sessions and the cost of training materials like workbooks, it is easy to see how eLearning is more cost-effective compared to traditional training methods.
Learner retention and engagement
The many advantages of eLearning can be argued in a number of ways, but the main advantages simply boil down to two components: retention and engagement. Learners who are engaged and excited about the course material, who actually want to experience the concepts through gamification and interaction are more likely to retain the learning objectives
Sensory Engagment
eLearning engages a learner’s eyes, ears, and hands during a course, and enhances what could have been a lackluster experience. What’s more, simulations and skills uptake checks give users another chance to truly experience the training in a safe space before applying new skills on the job.
Continuous feedback
eLearning gives learners permission to explore, test and yes, even fail as part of the learning process. Continuous, in-the-moment feedback helps learners’ course-correct and become more proficient in the safest way possible, keeping the learning path moving forward in a positive way.

LEVELS OF DIGITAL INTERACTIVITY
A narrative approach
Basic
Is essentially a ‘telling’ approach. The skill lies in the storytelling and the conciseness of the content explaining the concepts and facts. Using Self-assessment questions to evoke interest and check understanding.
Very nice
Procedural eLearning
Intermediate
Often used in systems training, requires demonstrations, graduated tasks and practice opportunities. The skill lies in breaking down the procedure into ‘how to’ bite-size logical steps. It usually requires animation or video to demonstrate the process.
So much fun
Experimental learning
Advanced
Is about taking the learner on a journey of discovery as decisions are made. Useful for developing judgement and changing behaviour, gamification falls into this category. The skill lies in molding the content from right/wrong to shades of grey. Also, the multimedia programming (animation) can be extensive.
