Eight things you should know about blended learning

Submitted Jan 13, 2016

To guide you through what blended learning is and how it works, as well as to provide an insight into the key ingredients for successful blended learning.

Outline

Blended learning is one of THE buzzwords in education and training and it’s a game-changer. But what exactly is it? Why is it proliferating, how does it work and what do you need to do it? Can student-centred models and self-directed learning really work? Where do 21st Century skills come into this (and what exactly are they, anyway)? How can it replace more traditional methods of instruction, and how can we persuade learners that it can? I believe I have some useful answers for all of the above, based on hands-on experience as both a trainer and learner.
