What is "Blended Learning"?

Blended Learnig
This is a training style that uses a combination of two types of learning methods: e-learning for knowledge acquisition and tests, and group training for discussions and on-the-job training.

Although e-learning has become the norm as a form of learning, there are some learning contents that cannot be mastered without practical training, and it is better to gather in person for group training/learning. In such cases, is group training alone really sufficient?
There are many cases where the majority of the training time is spent explaining basic knowledge and terminology, and the practical training is conducted in a hurried manner, and the learning effect and results are not good, right? In such cases, it is time to sort out the training content.

Take the example of "combining group training and e-learning."

1. participants acquire basic knowledge through e-learning in advance. Instructors collect data on learning status and conduct questionnaires to understand the status of students.

(2) In the training sessions where everyone gathers together, we focus on things that can only be done in real group training, such as practical skills training.

3. after the group training, participants will be able to continue their training by following up with e-learning and memory retention through review tests.

The learning effect will be much better if you In other words."Blending the best parts of multiple learning styles to maximize learning. This is the"Blended Learning., will be one of the solutions for employees both at home and abroad.

Transforming the classroom from input-based to output-basedflipped classroomis also a type of blended learning.
If you use e-learning to review after the class in addition to the flipped classroom, you will have the strongest blended learning.
It's not just a passive class where students listen to the teacher, but an interactive class. Since there will be a lot of communication from the students, the students' brains will inevitably be activated, won't they?

flipped classroom
This is a form of blended learning in which students prepare for new learning content by watching video lessons, usually at home, and there are no lectures in the classroom. On the contrary, the teacher gives individualized guidance on assignments that would otherwise be homework, and students work together with other students. It is a form of class in which the teacher gives guidance to each student and students work together with other students.
