Blended Learning: When Traditional Meets New 

People have different ways of learning. In fact, there are three styles, namely: kinaesthetic, visual and auditory. In order for kinaesthetic learners to learn effectively they need to be hands-on and involved with their learning material and content. Visual learners need visual stimuli in the form of pictures, videos, graphs and diagrams. The use of voice overs, videos and other forms of audio will benefit auditory learners greatly. Sound Idea Digital’s Collective Mind LMS takes all kinds of learners into consideration through blended learning.

Blended learning entails combining computer-based learning where learners will complete online assignments and eLearning courses with live, instructor-led training. Blended learning brings with it several advantages:

1. Students can pace themselves and learn at their own time – this not only allows them to fully understand new content but also gives them an opportunity to absorb and retain it.
2. It saves costs – there is no need to spend money on expensive textbooks, all the content is available at the click of a button.
3. It saves time – assignments and tests are graded in real time, there is no need to wait.

Learners get the opportunity to attend real classes or training sessions where they can interact with the instructor. With blended learning every learner can learn to their full potential.
