Blended Learning Certificate
Course Info
Transform learning with blended solutions that are flexible, cost-effective, and meet both learner and organizational needs.
Blended learning involves the use of many different instructional techniques to meet the needs of participants in a wide range of settings and situations. A blended course might, for example, include a mix of in-person classroom training, virtual sessions, and self-paced components. It is an effective way to deliver training in smaller chunks, to reach distributed teams, or to provide learning in the moment of need. Blended learning has become the preferred approach to training, as it is flexible, cost-effective, and can enhance training effectiveness. To harness the full potential of blended programs, talent development professionals need the skills to identify which learning methods are most appropriate to meet the objectives and create a design that seamlessly integrates components to guarantee engagement and impact.
The Blended Learning Certificate provides you with a holistic introduction to blended learning, exploring a mix of delivery methods and tools so that you can use to reach your learners where, when, and how they are ready to learn. In this hands-on, collaborative course, you’ll gain the tools and knowledge to design, implement, and optimize blended learning programs. From understanding business goals and learning objectives and aligning them with the appropriate delivery methods to assessing outcomes and selecting the right digital tools, this course provides actionable insights at every stage of the process.
In addition to working with facilitator-provided examples, you’ll have the opportunity to bring and adapt your own training program to a blended format, enhancing your ability to apply blended learning models back on the job. As a part of your Blended Learning Certificate enrollment, you will receive a complimentary ATD on-demand course, Writing Learning Objectives, to supplement your learning.
