Blended learning, which is a mode of training that combines online learning with live, instructor-led training, can be very effective. It drives skills acquisition and knowledge retention1, and it decreases the cost of training.2 Also, it can increase employee satisfaction with training, as most workers are partial to a hybrid approach to learning. The Future of Learning at Work3 stated, “Today’s worker wants less formal, structured presentations and an increased focus on blended learning channels such as video, e-learning, face-to-face interaction, and coaching.”
Many companies use either instructor-led training or online learning as their primary method of employee training. By blending both types of education, you can create hybrid training experiences that satisfy learners and promote better training outcomes.
