Benefits of the Blended Learning Model
You didn't learn to ride a bike by viewing PowerPoint slides. You learned by doing. It's the same way with adult learning. To be effective, training needs to combine multiple methods, resources and learning experiences - in other words, blended learning.
According to a recent study entitled Alternative Trades Training: Best Practices Across Canada, produced by Solvig Norman Open School BC and the Lindsay Langill Industry Training Authority of British Columbia, Canada, "a blended approach of combining face-to-face training and self-paced/independent learning is the most effective approach to delivering practical skills-based training."
In another recent study conducted by Brandon Hall, a leading firm in the e-learning space, over 70% of respondents indicated that blended learning produced better learning outcomes than either face-to-face training alone or e-learning alone.
