Many organizations have discovered that blended learning needs to be a priority in order to maintain employee effectiveness. That's a good thing. Blended learning allows learning and development professionals to address learning objectives authentically and effectively.

However, blended learning programs can be difficult to design properly, and without the proper design, most programs are doomed to fail.

Do you remember the first time you experienced a non-traditional approach to learning? For most of us, we didn’t learn important life-lessons inside a classroom.

For Jennifer Hofmann, classic Saturday morning programming introduced her to self-paced learning, and the rest, as they say, was history.

Fact: instructional design provides the foundation for memorable, effective corporate learning programs. 

Jennifer Hofmann recently collaborated with eLearning Guild to research how modern instructional design approaches have evolved to engage modern learners and what implementation processes work best when introducing these new blended programs.

Has your organization made blended learning a priority? Are you confused about what blended learning is, and how it can affect learning results? Perhaps you’ve seen many blended learning programs fail and want to make sure your initiative is successful. If you are involved with blended learning design in any way--or want to be--you need tools, resources, and a blueprint to move forward. To ensure the success of modern blends, it is necessary to lay a strong foundation to manage the change from more traditional models. 

Blended learning’s flexible, adaptable design possibilities make it an excellent option for corporate learning.

Learners have the opportunity to engage with resources in all their moments of learning need, and instructional designers have the ability to address each learning objective authentically.

The modern learning landscape calls for modern blended learning design. We aren’t designing COURSES, we are designing EXPERIENCES that support the learner in all of their moments of learning need – not just when learning something new.

It doesn’t have to be rocket science! It takes a new approach to design; an approach that builds on fundamental instructional design approaches and takes the needs of modern learners and modern organizations into account.

Blended Learning Campaigns are designed to support the learner experience by delivering time-released lessons that are supported by activities and resources that continue to be relevant after the formal campaign is over. The campaign design considers appropriate instructional strategies, techniques, and technologies to identify the best approach to a learning objective.
