Certificate in Blended Learning
Introduction
Blended solutions combine different learning media to allow organisations to provide more flexible, accessible and cost-effective learning opportunities. In many situations a single medium, whether face-to-face, online or otherwise, simply cannot provide all the characteristics required for efficient and effective learning. A blended solution exploits the advantages of different learning media whilst minimising the drawbacks.
In the 21st Century, every trainer needs to embrace the potential of e-Learning and blended solutions. This Certificate is aimed at any trainer who wants to extend their capabilities beyond face-to-face and traditional self-study methods to take advantage of the opportunities provided by computers, the Internet and mobile technologies, whether used on their own or blended with traditional methods.
This Certificate provides a solid foundation for any trainer looking to become an active participant in the most exciting changes the training profession has ever seen.
