Everyone working in the training and education sectors has heard of Blended Learning. The major disturbances to teaching since 2020 have forced the most reluctant among us to re-examine the learning experience and therefore the methods involved. But how is Blended Learning defined? What benefits does it offer? How can you implement a Blended Learning strategy in your organisation? Find all the answers in this article.<\/p>\n

What is blended learning?\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

Definition:<\/strong> blended learning<\/a> is a combination of several types of in-class and remote, synchronous and asynchronous learning methods.
There can be numerous methods, used at every stage of the training: digital learning (e-learning or mobile learning), web-conference training, in-class training, individual or group sessions, etc.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What are the benefits of Blended Learning?\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

Blended learning offers an array of advantages, both for learners and training managers. It provides a whole host of possibilities which consistently focus on training effectiveness, learners\u2019 needs and streamlining costs and resources. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Varied methods for greater retention<\/h3>\n

Arguably one of the major advantages, diversified methods<\/a>, improves learning. Digital learning for certain training content, considered to be accessible without support, and in-class training for activities which require practical application. What\u2019s more, if your digital content is mobile learning content, it can be used to support in-class application activities (phygital learning<\/a>). <\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Blended learning which meets a learner\u2019s needs and pace<\/h3>\n

Making part of the course available asynchronously means learners can learn whenever they wish and more importantly, whenever they really need to. Indeed, training closely mirrors the workplace situation, in which learners are confronted with specific problems they wish to resolve. Above all, this is a good way for learners to pinpoint moments in which they are fully concentrated. Similarly, classroom sessions can be of particular interest for discussing specific topics. Classroom sessions are also ideal for co-creation or for practical work. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 In-class training cost rationalisation and overcoming the pressure of resources<\/h3>\n

Learners are not the only ones to reap substantial benefits. Training teams can cut back on in-class time or at least, optimise sessions to make them more effective. Overhauling these sessions can help simplify training planning. On the one hand, fewer resources are allocated to in-class training. Indeed, in-class training is restricted to a limited number, while the resources earmarked for designing digital learning content can help to reach the entire population without any geographical or time constraints. On the other hand, fewer training hours are needed and therefore there are fewer scheduling problems.
<\/span><\/p>\n

In conclusion, in-class time becomes a moment of sharing with high added value. It facilitates discussion and enables real issues to be solved. Trainers can answer learners\u2019 questions, in particular those arising from asynchronous sessions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How can you implement a blended training strategy which fosters engagement? <\/b><\/h2>\n

As we said earlier, it is vital to hone your Blended Learning strategy so that it meets real needs. To foster engagement, closely adhere to the definition of blended learning by combining methods. To choose the methods best suited to specific learning goals, or specific training sequences, you should begin by carrying out an inventory.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n
