 BLENDED LEARNING |
| Learning that is facilitated by the effective combination of different approaches, models of teaching and styles of learning, and founded on transparent communication amongst all parties involved with a course. It can be accomplished through the use of 'blended' virtual and physical resources. A typical example of this would be a combination of technology-based materials and face-to-face sessions used together to deliver instruction.[1] |

| Filling the Gaps of Traditional Training | During this short training you can analyze the pros and cons of traditional training approaches and discover the benefits of a blended learning solution. You will identify key factors in choosing a learning solution and consider multiple options to meet learners’ needs. Although there’s no single formula for a “perfect” training program, this session can help you build unique and customized strategies. (Video; 14 minutes) |
| Estimating Project Scope Successfully | In this brief course you will examine some industry metrics for scoping different components of a blended solution. You will also discover tasks to perform when estimating a project, and you’ll learn how to estimate development time for newer technologies that so far don’t have established metrics. By the end of the course, you will have a solid foundation for scoping unique and customized training strategies. (Video;9 minutes) |
| Man Versus Machine | Article that illustrates the benefits of blended learning and provides suggestions on how to make it more effective. Main aspects analyzed are the following: the content, which should be adapted to the media used in the course and made consistent across units and modalities; balance which should be found between asynchronous and synchronous modalities as well as between knowledge acquisition and practical application. |
| Real Blended Learning Stands Up | Article that points out the benefits of blended learning and gives some examples of blended curricula as well as activities (e.g. role plays and games) which can be included in a blended learning programme. The article also illustrates how important is to enrich the learning process with a variety of learning methods in order to match participants’ different learning styles. |
