How Do Learners Define Blended Learning? - Peter Cheese, e-learning Magazine
Over the past year or so, as I have spoken with corporate executives about the concept of "blended learning," I've frequently felt the need to move the discussion beyond learning delivery techniques to the subject of how organizations can better understand the true needs of learners and the role of technology in the overall learning and performance experience. Try this experiment at your company: Ask your instructional designers to explain to you exactly what it is that is being "blended" when they speak of blended learning. I suspect that eventually someone will get up at a whiteboard and draw you a continuum of training delivery that moves from traditional, physical classroom experience at one end, to solutions at the other end that rely on increasingly sophisticated technologies, to CBT and collaboration tools, to e-learning and performance simulation.
