Three areas to consider:

• What is being delivered?

• Who is it being delivered to?

• How can it be delivered?

Determining the Appropriate Blend Requires Careful Analysis

“Oh yeah, content!”

At the root of successful training is a match between the objectives of the instruction and the content delivered to the learner.

Page 25: Blended Learning That Works What’s this “blended” talk all about? Content Consideration s: It’s still about learning Defining a blended solution Defining

Information is ‘telling’:

Instruction is ‘building’:

Focus is on the presenter advising, sharing, communicating

Focus is on the participants performing, practicing, demonstrating

Information or Instruction: Does it matter?

…but how it will be used that matters:• How many people need the content?• Where are the people who will receive the

content?• Will the content be delivered often?• Will the content be used often?• What is the shelf-life of the content?

It’s not just what the content says…
