ASTD National Blended Learning Certificate Program

Sponsored by ASTD National

Thursday 17-Jun-10 8:30 AM to Friday 18-Jun-10 4:30 PM CDT

Event Description

Blended Learning Certificate Program

Go beyond traditional classroom learning.

Today's learning professionals are under pressure to address ever-evolving skills needed in their organizations, and they are being asked to do so with limited resources and time. This new program provides the roadmap for creating high-impact solutions that address these needs by combining various learning platforms, methods, and formats to motivate learners, produce real results, and increase productivity. After this workshop, participants will be able to take immediate steps to design blended learning solutions using the tools and action plan provided.

Audience
This program is ideal for learning professionals who design and/or deliver training and want to adopt blended learning approaches.
 
Format
This unique ASTD program uses a blended learning approach to model the concepts taught in the workshop. Participants will be asked to complete a pre-work assignment which helps gather the information needed to work on their own curriculum during the workshop.

The workshop runs from 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. on day one.  Day two begins at 8:30 a.m. and runs until approximately 2:00 p.m.  Participants will then be asked to participate in a four-hour instructor-led online session several days later. 

Learning Objectives
After the workshop, participants will be able to:

  • Define blended learning and apply practical tips, tools, and techniques for designing effective blended learning solutions.
  • List the various formats and media that can be 'mixed' for an optimal blended learning approach.
  • Align learning objectives with the most appropriate instructional method and format (i.e. decide when to use a blended approach and when not to).
  • Design a complete blended learning program using the exclusive ASTD Blended Instructional Design Process provided in the workshop.
  • Determine the resources, expertise, technology, and budget required to implement high-quality blended solutions.
  • Identify performance support methods and tools that support the blend, on the job.
  • Make the business case for increased use of blended learning in their organization.

On-Site Offerings
ASTD can make arrangements for the Blended Learning Certificate Program to be offered at your organization. You might find it is easier, and more cost effective, for one of our facilitators to come to your site and deliver this workshop for your team. Your attendees participate in the same learning experience offered at our public workshops, but have the convenience of being at your site and the benefit of covering the material with colleagues.
