401 The Blended Learning Trifecta: Leveraging eLearning Data and Webinar to Drive Results

1:00 PM - 2:00 PM Wednesday, June 8

When we teach in person, we develop relationships with our learners and we tailor our content and approach accordingly. But typically a personalized and tailored approach is not what comes to mind with the term “blended learning.” Too often, blended learning turns out to be a reduced classroom experience with digital add-ons. In contrast, quality blended learning leverages the logistic conveniences and technical capabilities of learning technology to save time and money while enhancing our ability to personalize and tailor professional learning.

In this session we will explore a successful blended learning case study that utilizes an interactive online component, a webinar component, and a synchronous/on-site component to reduce instruction time while increasing both effectiveness and learner engagement.

You will learn:

  • The value of learner activity data drawn from interactive eLearning
  • The utility of a short webinar series prior to on-site work
  • The enhanced instructional experience that results from quality blended learning
  • Elements of this strategy that you can implement immediately
