 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] |

| Link | Content |
|---|---|
| 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 good foundation for scoping unique and customized training strategies. (Video;9 minutes) |
| Man Versus Machine | An article that illustrates the benefits of blended learning and provides suggestions on how to make it more effective. The main aspects analyzed are: the content, which should be adapted to the media used in the course and made consistent across units and modalities, and the balance, which should be found between asynchronous and synchronous modalities as well as between knowledge acquisition and practical application. |
| Real Blended Learning Stands Up | An 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) that can be included in a blended learning programme. The article also illustrates the importance of enriching the learning process with a variety of learning methods in order to match different learning styles. |
