Blended Learning Delivery
Blended learning leverages a full spectrum of multi-dimensional learning approaches from the best of instructor / "human" interventions to the most interactive use of technology. Blended learning is effective not only for reaching a dispersed audience, but also for saving explicit training costs, providing self-paced learning, and matching diverse and complex learner needs with focused learning events. Learning events are designed to systematically and collectively support the defined performance requirements, while reflecting the audiences' current knowledge and capability. Through blended learning analysis, the optimal medium, style, timing and sequence for learning is pinpointed and tested.
Blended learning can leverage the power and pervasiveness of the Internet to offer new options to learners and to better address concerns and challenges, such as cost of training, just-in-time deployment changing or updating programs and diverse learning styles. The internet also allows better-targeted performance support, self-paced and distance learning and the ability to easily revise content and adjust learning resources. eLearning has become a centerpiece of the SSE blended learning approach.
