Blended learning is the use of asynchronous and synchronous learning to engage learners. In this study we’ll explore innovative learning technologies, determine resources and budgets needed to implement this method, identify common challenges, and identify training topics that work well for a blended learning format. We’ll also highlight the skills and capabilities TD professionals should concentrate on to become an expert at blended learning design.
Key findings from this report:
• 87% of organizations say increased flexibility for employees to learn is a major benefit of blended learning
• 75% of organizations expect their use of blended learning to increase over the next two years
• 39% of organizations said blended learning makes up more than half of the total learning
• 61% of respondents say communication skills are extremely important for blended learning design and delivery
