M for mixed (MBL learning methodology)

1. Traditional and Paper

Conditions:

• You need human interaction
• You have already planned a conference room
• You have already your courses
• The courses are adapted to the needs of the participants
• You need immediate responses

Good:

• Training room is fully equipped.
• You receive a return on your investment.
• Already a long experience.
• Well organised.

Be aware:

• Today having only classes with Paper is not enough to get efficiency and motivation.
• Participants forget very quickly. It is more heavy to organise assesements.
• Where do the participants keep their Paper(s)?
• Costs for accommodation and travelling are still high.

2. Traditional and CBT (Computer Based Training)

Conditions:

• You have already planned a conference room
• Pre-designed CD-Rom's as support material
• Content is already invested
• Easier subject matter experts for case studies

Good:

• No constant human interaction
• Cost effective
• Reusable courses

Be aware:

• But are the participants using the CD-Rom after 6 months?
• Do they keep track on up-dates?
• Can the enterprise control the efficiency on the participants?
• High cost factor for shipment and tracking

3. WBT (Web Based Training) and Live (on-line live eLearning)

Conditions:

• Every participant must have access to Internet
• Multimedia PC (headset or microphone and earphones)
• A subcription form on-line
• Standardising the browser to all participants and the enterprise

Good:

• Very cost effective (maximum 90' per session)
• Anywhere at any time (outside office hours)
• Keep track (statistics) on the levels of participants
• Resolve questions in a user friendly matter
• One moderator can test thousands of participants

Be aware:

• Are the participants willing to follow live eLearning sessions outside office hours ?
• Are the participants familiar with the Internet applications?
• Are the participants ready to accept assessments on-line?
