Blended Learning - Attitude Driven

Also known as the behaviour-driven learning model, this approach is a mixture of classroom-based and online learning. Typically this model suits the soft-skill courses that require more face-to-face interaction and intervensions from a mentor.

What makes it different from Skill-Driven Blended Learning Model?

Skill-driven model focuses on improving an individual's knowledge or skill on a specific subject, which can be acheived through constant practice (self-paced may be). They require minimal intervension coz the interactions are primarily aimed at comparing best practices and sharing experience.

Behaviour-driven model focuses on improving an individual's emotional balance. This is the reason why a behaviour learning course would require constant interaction with peers and group activities. A personal approach would maximise benefit that one can draw from this model.


Considerations for any Blended Learning Program

1. A schedule that includes plans for group learning or discussions
2. Introduction and summary sessions handled by the instructor
3. Leverage on the available technology in pacing the course. For example, reading
material could be given on a CD for the learners to munch on at their own pace.
There could be group discussion forums on the Internet/intranet to facilitate
offline discussions.
4. Technology intervensions could include CBTs, eBooks, e-mail support,
e-discussions, online assessment and feedback
