What is Blendid Learning?
Blendid learning is a combination of multiple approaches that complement each other, and promote effective learning. This method of learning effectively blends traditional face-to-face classroom training (physical resources), e-learning (virtual), and self-paced learning methods so that the learner benefits holistically. An example of such learning can be a training session where a well-structured introductory lesson is presented in the classroom, and then follow-up materials are provided online.

Methods that can be adopted through Blendid Learning:
1. Face-to-face learning: Face-to-face learning refers to traditional instructor-led training that takes place within a classroom. It involves an active learning process that takes the form of classroom discussions/debates, making formal presentations, delivering lectures. Though the face-to-face learning approach has many visible advantages such as social interaction, verbal and non-verbal communication, permanency of content, group activities, etc., in todays technologically sophisticated world, it is not the only effective method of learning.

2. E-Learning: E-learning refers to a method of transferring knowledge supported by multimedia content and delivering it synchronously and/or asynchronously over an electronic network. It is not considered to be a replacement for an instructor-led or classroom training, but acts as a supplement to reinforce crucial knowledge. Thus, it helps in overcoming physical and logistic limitations of traditional training methodologies. E-learning is the unifying term to describe the fields of online learning, Web-based training, and technology-delivered CBT.

3. Computer-based Training (CBT) and Web-based Training (WBT): Computer-based Training (CBT) is an instructional mode whereby the learners gain knowledge by using computer. CBT services are especially effective for training people to use computer applications. With the help of CBT, users can alsos tudy for formal qualifications, accreditations, and continued professional development. Web-based training (WBT) is also a kind of training that is similar to CBT, but it is delivered over the internet/intranet.

Corporate training use LMSs to automate record-keeping and employee registration.
