The ultimate aim of training or learning is to impact a
change in the learner’s psyche; more often in terms of
behavioristic such as defining, recalling, identifying, choosing,
computing, classifying, etc.

To bring this change we use or adopt the most suitable strategy
that sits atop three basic pillars:

What are Blended Learning Strategies?
In ancient time in Asian sub-continent, blended learning
had an amalgam of various elements:
• Imparting of theoretical knowledge in a classroom
like atmosphere but instead under a tree.
• Combat and physical skills in the playground
• A daily undertaking of household chores of the
teacher.
At that time, Blended learning was learning three
different areas of knowledge under the aegis of one
teacher and also under one roof.

Current Scenario
At present, our means and needs are:
• Advance technology,
• Increased complexity of learning content,
• Competitive expectations from learners
• Geographical distribution of learners
• Less time, more tasks
• Cost, etc.

Let’s understand latest trends in blended learning through
following four cases:

Training ground-level resources at an electrical facility
Case Scenario:
 Training Need: Ground level helpers
needs training in general safety
precautions to safeguard themselves
from any electric hazards.
 Learner Profile: It is a case of very large
group of learners. Since most of them are
at a junior college level, they have an
equal level of comprehension ability.
 Available Infrastructure to implement training:
The available means/infrastructure are TV screens distributed at various places
in the facility.
 Constraints: As leaners are large in number so they can’t be called at one place
for classroom training and it is difficult for them to understand all safety and
precautionary measures in one or two goes.

Proposed Blended Learning Solution
The whole facility can be divided into different learning zones, and
in each zone one TV screen can be selected to deliver Instructor-
Led Training program. The instructor will deliver programs in each
zone with the help of PPT presentation and he/she can also
distribute learner sheets to remember or better understand
certain difficult concepts. After these instructor-led programs,
another version of the same content will be run continuously on
each TV of that particular zone. This is a detailed presentation of
each and every possible case of hazard that may occur in the
facility and helpers can learn by watching it during their breaks.
 The content development company prepares Instructor-
Led Training PPT program, the learner sheets and the
detailed presentation.

Students learning in university campus
Case Scenario:
A university has two categories of subject in each department; Primary and secondary
subjects:
• Primary subjects: subjects specific to
concerned department
• Secondary subjects: These are ancillary
subjects that are usually interdisciplinary
and often relate to other departments.
For example, in Education department, learners
have educational psychology, educational
technology, etc., as their primary subjects
whereas, subjects such as Mathematics,
Computers, etc., are secondary subjects.
As there are many options in secondary subjects, each option will have small group of
learners. The problem is when Professors of other departments cannot schedule classroom
sessions for such small groups.

13. Blended Learning

Proposed Blended Learning Solution
An E-Learning company is asked to develop customized e-learning
course modules for all secondary subjects offered in the university.
At the first stage, learners will go through these e-learning courses
through their university website. In the second stage, learners are
asked (on optional basis) to meet the concerned professor in their
own department on fixed schedule.
 The e-learning company will develop these modules by
seeking support from Subject Matter Experts of
concerned departments.

Sales executive training in a multinational company
Case Scenario:
 Training Need: A multinational company wants all its newly recruited sales executives to
be trained on their standard approach to pursue a business proposal.
 Learner Profile: MBA graduates
 Available Infrastructure to implement training:
Each sales executive will have company laptop
with internet connectivity.
 Constraints: Classroom sessions and CD based
e-learning courses are not feasible as ‘Business
Proposal’ concept is subject to continues
change. It is not feasible for a company to
distribute CDs for each update.

Proposed Blended Learning Solution:
Documents, Webinars and Custom E-Learning courses can be
distributed to each sales executive in regular intervals. After
completion of certain fundamental learning base, an instructor
will travel to each place, if required, to deliver Instructor-Led
Training programs.
 An E-Learning content company will deliver all the self-explanatory
material sent to sales executive and the
Instructor-Led Training program.

Training on assessing business opportunities for CEOs
Case Scenario:
In general CEOs hardly have any time for learning as they are usually occupied with
attending meetings and conferences, travelling to meet clients, etc. In case they are
available in office, they are busy taking updates from each department. As is with every
organizational requirement, they do require to be trained in their area of work but lack time
and the availability of the training module at one place. Even if make some time for training
and learning, they cannot afford more than an hour.

Proposed Blended Learning Solution:
An E-Learning company can develop small capsules of learning
for them and make them available to be chosen and download to
the mobile or other wearable devices any-time, anywhere at the
convenience of CEOs. These capsules could be a Pod Cast,
Webinars, Small presentations, Documents, Sound clips, etc.

Concussion
Blended learning methodology can
be called as hybrid learning and is
effective if the cases are analyzed
well and their implementation is
managed with greater level of
control.
