Traditional trainers lament the use of “impersonal e-learning” but it doesn’t need to be like that because a mix of self study based e-learning accompanied with web driven tutorials maintains the personal connection and personality benefits of a tutor; this is called blended learning; e-Confident will help you structure such an approach.
This blended learning approach provides a good compromise between the cost reductions and flexibility of web based training and not losing the personal touch. If you want there is nothing to stop you having a traditional face to face session to kick off the course or maybe some supplemental traditional meetings throughout the year to build up rapport . Use a choice of approaches to get the best fit for your learners and your budget, just become e-Confident with blended learning.
