Your Step-by-Step Guide To Design High-Impact Blended Training – Featuring 7 Success Stories [2018 Update]
In Oct’17, I released the eBook Your Step-by-Step Guide to Design High-Impact Blended Training Programs (you can read about it in this article).
In Mar’18, I did a webinar on the same subject and have used the pointers to update the eBook.

- The inclusion of top 5 challenges associated with the transformation of ILT to blended training.

The updated eBook provides several insights including:

- 7 examples that show you success stories of effective transition from ILT to blended training programs. The featured examples include instances of 5 corporate training needs and two examples from higher education segment.
While there are several reasons why organizations are looking at moving their ILT training programs to blended training; the top 3 reasons are:
- Business need to train a wider audience in a shorter time.
- Training budget cuts or need to use the available budgets optimally.
- Learners are seeking higher flexibility in the way they want to learn (on the go, self-paced, and on the device of their choice).
This is also reaffirmed by a research:
According to the 2016 Benchmark Report: The State of Online Training, ‘Technology has not decreased the demand for Instructor-Led Training but gives instructors new tools to reach learners…The trend in Instructor-Led Learning is enablement through technology, both in hybrid and fully virtual delivery.’
