So, you made the plunge and you implemented an Online Training System. You created your online training program and assigned your courses and everything is going great.  Your students are taking the courses and learning the content and everyone is thrilled. You’re all done now, right?  Just assign as new people come aboard or edit as things change and re-assign courses, otherwise it’s easy street.  No more traveling, no more un-trackable shadow training, no more printed documents.  Think of all the trees you’ve saved!  You’ve never been so productive and consistent with your training program; your boss is hailing you as a hero. Just as you kick back to relax and enjoy your success it suddenly hits you, “Not everybody learns the same way!”  So, what is a dedicated Training Director to do?  How can you be sure to make sure everyone is getting the training they need and deserve?

Wait a minute, didn’t you hear some sort of buzz word at the last conference you attended, yeah that’s right, blended learning.  So, what does that mean to you? How does your organization take advantage of a blended learning program?  Well, to get started, what training needs to be done in person?  I know, I know in person? What!  Did you hear me right, did an Online Training Company just say such a thing?  Yes, yes, we did!  Because we know that online training is not meant to replace in-person training, it’s meant to prepare for, supplement, and reinforce it.  There are certain tasks that need to be demonstrated in person and your staff needs to demonstrate back to you that they’ve learned how to do those tasks.  But not to fear, you can schedule, allow your staff to register for, or be assigned these in-person courses through our External Course Tool. The External Course Tool allows you to not only alert them of the up-coming session but give them credit for attending as well and as a result have a record of all your training records in one central location.  Also, why not record the in-person session and once it’s over create an online course out of it allowing your staff to watch it again if they want to review a key point or have questions. That’s the point of an on-line training system after all, on-demand training 24/7, anywhere, anytime!
