Blended Learning Certificate

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 ASTD 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.

About this Program

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.

ASTD Certificate Programs are learning events and a certificate is awarded to participants upon successful completion of the program. No test is given and participants are not certified. Certification is a testing event that confirms that skills, knowledge, or competencies have been acquired. Please click here for more information on the ASTD Certification Institute’s credential, the Certified Professional in Learning and Performance™ (CPLP™).

True to a blended curriculum, participants must complete the entire program in order to receive a certificate of completion and CEUs.

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.
