Blended Learning: Creating the Perfect Learner Journey

Learning is never a one-off event. It’s a journey and a process that takes place over time.

With multiple technologies, content and delivery methods to choose from, finding the perfect learning blend can be challenging. But get it right, and your people, and your organization, will reap the rewards of fast and effective learning.

The perfect learning blend is the best combination of activities (or learner modes) that create the ideal learner journey. Blends utilize the capabilities of different digital learning technologies and media, combined with other elements such as face-to-face learning, work-based activities, and tasks.

We can guide you through the maze of options to design and deliver the blend that works for your learners and supports your blended learning strategy.

Effective blended learning solutions require the expertise to design learning journeys that not only maintain but deepen learner engagement over time, and integrate learning directly into the flow of work.

We deploy a number of key strategies to keep learners engaged and learning sustained. These include spaced practice and nudging, gamifying learning, and even looking closely at how coaching and manager support can work in the mix.

Another key strategic trend for us in this area is the development of social learning strategies, such as creating cohort learner groups and action learning sets for support and shared learning.

We also focus on a number of broad themes that drive an engaged and energized audience over time, including:
