Utilizing blended learning methods is a best practice in the training and development programs of top training organizations. The idea behind blended learning is that many different methods and resources can be used to convey a message or a topic. Today, there are so many training resources available, the challenge is finding the right blend to fit your organization's culture.
The US Department of Labor has found that 70% of all workplace learning is now occurring in an informal setting, and that many companies are successfully integrating classroom training with e-learning.
Luckily for e-learning clients accessing the Business & Professional Skills catalog, a solution to assist you in the blending of your training has arrived - Blended Learning Toolkits. The toolkits are a mix of leader materials, PowerPoint presentations, Skill Brief handouts, and printable guides.
The overall goal of the Blended Learning Toolkit is to offer organizations a variety of tools to help transfer knowledge and skills from e-learning courses to the realities of the workplace. It also can be used to support and reinforce classroom or instructor-led training. The Blended Learning Toolkit serves as a way to prepare for, support and/or reinforce knowledge and skills, using selected Business & Professional Skills e-learning programs.
After using the Blended Learning Toolkit and its components, learners will be able to further their professional competencies and effectively reinforce/apply learning content from the Business and Professional Skills courses.
The Blended Learning Toolkit is aligned with specific Business & Professional Skills courses, and can be used by facilitators, session leaders and anyone who meets the target audience requirements for the course.
