What is Blended Learning?

Blended learning combines online and face-to-face learning to provide a comprehensive and flexible training experience. Learners engage with a mix of self-paced eLearning modules, virtual classrooms, and in-person training sessions. This approach allows organizations to offer the convenience and scalability of online learning while benefiting from the interaction and engagement of instructor-led training.

Blended learning is highly adaptable and perfect for different learning needs—whether employees are spread across multiple locations or learners must combine theoretical knowledge with hands-on practice.

Flexibility, Engagement, and Improved Learning Outcomes

Why is Blended Learning Important?

Flexibility for Learners

Learners can access online materials at their own pace, supplemented by in-person or virtual classroom sessions. This helps accommodate different schedules and learning styles, making it easier for employees to balance work and learning.

Enhanced Engagement

Blended learning combines different formats—videos, quizzes, group discussions, hands-on practice—to keep learners more engaged and motivated, leading to better information retention.

Cost-Effective Training

Blended learning reduces the cost of training by decreasing the need for extensive travel and physical resources while maintaining the benefits of in-person interactions for critical training topics.

Measurable Outcomes

Blended learning combines real-time instructor feedback with the tracking and reporting of online activities, giving organizations a clear picture of learner progress and outcomes.

Why an LMS for Blended Learning?

A Learning Management System (LMS) is essential for organizing and delivering blended learning programs. An LMS allows organizations to manage online and in-person learning activities in a single platform. Here’s why an LMS is critical for blended learning:

Centralized Learning Management

Manage all components of a blended learning program—from eLearning modules to in-person sessions—within one centralized system.

Engagement Tools

Interactive features like quizzes, surveys, and discussion boards within an LMS keep learners engaged during their online learning activities while providing immediate feedback on their progress.

Scheduling and Tracking

Schedule live training events, manage virtual classroom sessions, and track attendance and course completion. This ensures that learners complete both their online and in-person requirements.

Robust Reporting

Track learner progress across online and in-person components, ensuring they can complete their training goals.
