White paper

Blended Learning in Practice

 

Optimal blends: they're back - and this time it's personal! 

 

Donald Clark's white paper 'Blended Learning', released in February of this year, brought some much-needed rigour to the business of designing 'optimal blends', and was greeted with an enthusiastic response.

Now we go one further, extending this thinking into the dimension of practice. This month's new white paper release, written by Mark Harrison, Head of Consulting at Epic, draws on Epic's considerable experience of creating blended campaigns with clients.

Describing the process you would go through in defining a blend to meet any possible set of organisational circumstances and needs, it gives practical steps for getting from A to B (avoiding C,D and E).

Two extended cases studies are also provided, showing how a Government Department converted a 5-day face-to-face programme of management and supervisory skills training to a blended solution, and how a major retail bank devised, from scratch, a blended programme to promote leadership throughout the organisation.
