About Blended Learning

At HRworkbench, we believe that it takes more than online learning to produce changes in behaviour; and let's face it, in the organisational context, without behaviour change, training is worthless.

As its name implies, blended learning "blends" a number of different training delivery mechanisms to create an entire training package. It involves integrating a number of strategies and methods that address the unique and varied learning styles of adults. At HRworkbench these different components can include:

  • Assessment/Profiling (Online) Link 360-degree questionnaires or Psychometric assessments directly to the learning. Benchmark performance prior to learning and test for learning and knowledge transfer at program end.
  • Goal Setting (Online) Students are asked to set learning goals based on their Assessment Profile or on the curriculum content.
  • CFL (Online) Deliver theory and information online to ensure consistency of message. Incorporate Case Study Material, interactive questioning and testing of knowledge transfer - all online.
  • Assignments (Offline as an individual) Ensure the learning is translated back to the individual's workplace.
  • Projects (Offline as an individual) Interpret the learning in terms of real world experience, or compare how 'we do it' to how 'others do it'.
  • Discussion Groups (Offline as part of a group) Foster shared learning with self managed, or facilitated, workplace-centred learning groups.
  • Training Days (Offline as part of a group) Practice skills and understanding in the risk-free environment of the real classroom. Accredited facilitators ensure the learning is directed, focused and on-track.

One of the reasons this "blend" is so effective is that people learn differently. Some people like to read textbooks, some need visual imagery, some like to hear their learning, others need to write things down before it sinks in, and yet others need to act things out. Blended Learning attempts to ensure that the curriculum messages are delivered in a variety of ways so that all learning styles are catered for, thus maximising the effectiveness of the training for the widest possible group of trainees.
