Custom eLearning solution

Exceptional blended learning experiences

Blended learning combines the best of two training environments—traditional face-to-face training and eLearning. Our blended learning solutions engage all learners: those who learn better in a structured environment with an instructor and independent learners who learn better with semi-autonomous, computer-based training.

Engage employees with blended learning

Blended learning works by taking every type of learner into account, whether they prefer the familiar, traditional classroom, would rather learn online, or are interested in trying a mixture. Without the limitations of a classroom or all-online course, blended learning utilizes a variety of methodologies so the content can be customized to the learner and optimized for the subject matter.

Blended learning is an interactive experience in every sense of the word. Learners reinforce the offline lessons by practicing online through a variety of different content media, each geared to suit a certain learning style. Learners can choose which type of content they want to interact with, practice what they learn, and communicate with instructors and other learners at any time and on any device. The community experience keeps learners engaged and informs teachers about their progress and areas needing more attention.

We’ve got the experience

ELM Learning’s extensive experience in creating seamless blended learning solutions gives you access to interactive, engaging, and individual training. With blended learning, ELM considers the true cost of L&D. In-class training may seem like a cheaper option when compared to eLearning development, but it also requires time away from work, paying instructors, and flying in remote employees. A blended eLearning approach cuts down on travel costs and can be used again and again, which reduces instructor time as well. ELM Learning creates blended learning programs that repurpose your current content while building engagement so learners get the best of both worlds.

How we approach blended learning

ELM knows that blended learning relies on the right combinations. Community and autonomy. Online and offline. Design and data. While not all face-to-face training is easily translated to digital content, it’s possible to re-engineer existing content for online delivery in a way that complements the existing training. Blended learning uses online and offline technologies in tandem, allowing instructors to quickly adopt the latest learning trends and modalities into the curriculum. Instructors also use built-in reporting features in most LMS software programs for deeper, data-driven insights into student progress and success.

While the classroom offers an opportunity for roleplaying with immediate face-to-face feedback, online learning offers personalized, self-paced learning with eLearning/mLearning components that lend themselves to interactive media such as skill-building, games, videos, tutorials, quizzes, and social media components, all accessible from the learner’s home page in the LMS—and accessible from the learner’s smartphone or tablet.
Our blended learning solutions treat every learner as an individual. Autonomy is one of the main benefits, as it allows learners to build their own experience through a combination of content and delivery methods. Blended learning training helps you avoid learner burnout from programs that move too quickly or the disengagement that learners experience when they’ve heard it all before.

Just because we’re an eLearning company doesn’t mean we want to convert all of your training to high-tech methods. Sometimes, the best solutions are those that have worked in the past. Let us create blended learning experiences that combine in-person, community-based training with fresh content and an agile delivery strategy.

FAQs

- An instructor who gives face-to-face tutoring sessions in between the lessons of their online course
- Groups of learners doing an assignment in a training room and discussing the results over a videoconference later from home
- Learning management systems
- Video streaming tools
- Videoconferencing applications
Absolutely not.

There’s no blended learning without both face-to-face training and online learning. And the learner must be able to control when, where, how, or how quickly they learn online.

If an instructor uses digital tools in their in-person training sessions, that’s not blended learning. In blended learning, the learner uses some web-based learning methods.
