  • Thoughts on Blended Learning
    Clive Shepherd has three great posts about blended learning over on his blog (see the links at the bottom of this post).

This at least opened their eyes to consider using online courses, virtual classroom training, etc. Now I feel like too many people blindly say, “You should create a blended learning solution…” but they can’t describe ...

For me, that is skunk works, microcosms, new responsibility, access to Internet, Massively Multiplayer Role-Playing Games, etc. But here's the thing. There is a big difference between learning a lot broadly and learning a given objective really well. Said differently ... deployment of specific (and hopefully business critical) learning objectives.
