Blended Learning Definition / Adaptive Learning Intelligence Model

Blended Learning Definition

Using analysis and planning and setting goals to find the optimal blend for any learning initiative means identifying the key success factors. Blended learning is identifying how the learning audience can achieve mastery and improve business performance. It is a compromise between (1) business and performance objectives, (2) the way groups of learners learn best, (3) the various ways that the material can best be individualized, presented, and learned, (4) the available resources that support learning, training, business, and social activities, and (5) the ways to maximize capabilities for access, interaction, and social relationships.

We use the Adaptive Learning Intelligence Model to make informed decisions about how to manage and use a palette of available instructional resources to achieve objectives (e.g., business, performance, and instructional objectives) and improve business and individual performance efficiently and cost-effectively.

Adaptive Learning Intelligence Model


ANALYSIS AND PLANNING

1. Identify Business, Performance, and Instructional Objectives through analysis (e.g., needs, content, technology, performance analysis). Consider measures for ROI, costs, benefits, and performance outcomes.

2. Identify audience and learning requirements. Consider personalized instruction and learning relationships.

3. Keep a catalog of available resources that support learning and training activites. Consider adapted or individualized presentations and environments.

4. Involve stakeholders in analysis, planning, and testing.
5. Use a reiterative analysis and planning process and implement over improvement cycles.
6. Evaluate the blended learner, performance outcomes, and instructional products.
