Consider the following scenario:
A training manager has been frustrated with the quality of communication among trainees in his face-to-face training sessions and wants to try something new. With his supervisor’s permission, the trainer plans to convert all current training modules to a blended learning format, which would provide trainees and trainers the opportunity to interact with each other and learn the material in both a face-to-face and online environment. In addition, he is considering putting all of his training materials on a server so that the trainees have access to resources and assignments at all times.
To ensure that students in a distance setting are successful, it is important to consider those elements that can serve as indicators for achievement (Simonson, Smaldino, Albright, & Zvacek, 2009). The elements that should be taken into consideration are; the students general ability, their prior knowledge, and their learning styles. I found it appropriate to take these elements and incorporate them into a best practice guide that the trainer could use in his attempt to convert his face-to-face training routine into one that is blended with traditional on-site interaction and modern online interaction between trainees and trainers.
