Blended learning is a learning delivery method which mixes conventional teacher-classroom methods with more progressive self-paced training involving media-rich content. The benefits of blended learning, when used in conjunction with other methods, have the potential to increase learner engagement and encourage learners to hold on to all of the information.<\/span><\/p>\n

Aside from the benefits to the learner there are many ways in which blended learning can help the administrative side of your training. Managing hundreds of students, all of whom need to attend classes and seminars and complete tests, is complicated. Blended learning can potentially alleviate some of these issues as it hands power to the learner to complete the training in their own time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Have a solid learning plan in place<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

The first thing you will need to do when considering how best to implement blended learning is to have the training needs of your organization clear and defined.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do your research – what sort of material are you wanting to deliver? Is there scope for blended learning within your needs? It\u2019s no use thinking about blended learning if the material you are training your workforce on doesn\u2019t lend itself to rich and dynamic media content.<\/span><\/p>\n

Be aware of your audience, and how they will be using the content. Paradiso LMS<\/a><\/span> offers blended learning together with mobile learning, which lets your learners continue their training whenever they want on on whatever device. However if the majority of your workforce doesn\u2019t have access to training outside the workplace, then there is no point thinking about blended learning and mobile learning.<\/span><\/p>\n

The most important thing is that your learning needs fall in line with your business goals. If you can deliver blended learning that drives other initiatives, then it could save you money and improve other areas of your business.<\/span><\/p>\n

Decide what combination of blended learning best suits you<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

The best LMS<\/a> platforms have a number of blended learning options available to you, and if you are going to be designing your own content then it\u2019s important that you understand how they can help.<\/span><\/p>\n

Blended learning as I have said is a combination of traditional techniques with cutting edge methods. The closest thing an LMS has to a classroom is, rather imaginatively, called the Virtual Classroom<\/b><\/a><\/span>. Paradiso LMS\u2019s virtual classroom integrates with major corporate video conferencing software, such as Adobe Connect<\/span><\/a>, WebEx<\/span><\/a> or BigBlueButton, so if your workforce is already familiar with these then that\u2019s one less thing you have to train them on.<\/span><\/p>\n

With Paradiso LMS you have several options, including:<\/span><\/p>\n
