Blended learning: where online meets impact
The days of “one-size-fits-all” training are gone (and nobody’s mourning their loss)
Our blended learning solutions combine the best of eLearning and instructor-led experiences, creating dynamic journeys that actually engage learners. We’ll help you find the perfect mix to maximize engagement, boost knowledge retention, and drive real results.
Working with you
Strategic blended learning services
Getting the blend right is both an art and a science. As your expert partner, we architect a seamless learning journey, choosing the perfect mix of online and facilitated experiences to achieve your specific business goals.
Our strategic approach ensures every element works in harmony, creating a cohesive and intuitive learning experience that boosts engagement, deepens understanding, and drives on-the-job skill application.
The right blend, by design
We start by analyzing your unique goals and learners to architect the perfect blend, meticulously mapping which content is best delivered via self-paced eLearning and where facilitated sessions will have the greatest impact.
Engaging eLearning content
We develop the self-paced portions of your blend – from interactive modules and videos to practical resources – ensuring they are engaging, intuitive, and perfectly prime learners for the facilitated components of their journey.
Dynamic facilitated sessions
We help design instructor-led sessions (both virtual and in-person) that capitalize on valuable group time. Instead of lectures, these experiences focus on active problem-solving, collaborative discussion, and hands-on skill application.
ThinkingKap’s blended approach
Blended learning should create a seamless journey, not just disconnected parts
We design blended learning solutions that align with your specific goals, audience, and content. Our strategic approach ensures you get the perfect mix of online and instructor-led elements for maximum impact.
It starts with a conversation
We get to know you and your organization’s training needs, then collaboratively design customized blended learning solutions that hit all the right notes.
From strategy to implementation, we’ve got you covered
We help you choose ideal blended learning models, develop engaging content, and ensure your program maximizes benefits – leaving you free to bask in the glow of training success.
ThinkingKap helped us evaluate our current strategy from top to bottom, and then designed a new training plan around our specific needs. The training courses developed for us were probably the best and most professional material we’ve ever had produced for our company.
Benefits of Blended Learning solutions
Unleash the full potential of your training programs
Ready for the perfect recipe of engagement, flexibility, and measurable results? Blended learning solutions deliver a more dynamic and effective experience than purely traditional or online-only methods.
Engage learners, ignite performance
Blended learning caters to diverse learning styles, keeping everyone engaged and motivated. By combining the best of online and instructor-led learning, we create experiences that stick.
Boost flexibility, maximize ROI
Blended learning gives learners flexibility to learn anytime, anywhere, while reducing costs associated with traditional training methods. It’s a win-win for everyone involved!
Blended learning in action
Siemens needed to train project estimators remotely, tackling the challenge of delivering complex technical content and hands-on practice virtually. Our blended learning solution combined engaging online modules with interactive virtual instructor-led sessions.
The result? Eliminated travel costs, increased training efficiency, and empowered Siemens to upskill their workforce effectively.
Types of blended learning
We expertly craft a variety of blended learning models to create dynamic experiences tailored to your organization’s unique needs:
Traditional blended learning
Online learning supplements and enhances instructor-led instruction. Learners complete online modules as “homework” to reinforce concepts, freeing up instructor time for dynamic activities.
Flipped classroom
Traditional instruction and homework are flipped. Learners study core concepts independently online, then instructor-led time focuses on active learning activities and problem-solving.
Asynchronous Blended Learning
Prioritizes flexibility for busy schedules. Participants engage with self-paced eLearning modules while “live” sessions are recorded and available on-demand.
Variety of scheduling options
Flexible scheduling accommodates both synchronous and asynchronous learning preferences, tailored to fit operational needs and maximize engagement.
Virtual or in-person instruction
Instructor-led sessions can occur virtually or in-person, providing accessibility and adaptability for different learning styles and geographical constraints.

FAQs
We love answering questions about blended learning!
We’ll spare you the jargon! Blended learning is all about creating the perfect mix of eLearning and instructor-led learning experiences. Think interactive eLearning modules, engaging classroom discussions, collaborative activities, and a dash of extra engagement!
That’s what we’re here to figure out! Our eLearning matchmakers (okay, they’re actually highly qualified consultants) will work with you to assess your training needs, audience, and goals to determine if blended learning is the perfect fit. Reach out to talk to an expert today.
Gaps are the worst. Okay, maybe second worst after overly redundant training. Repetition can be beneficial to learning, but only when it’s done right. One asset of blended training is also its biggest challenge: there are a lot of moving parts. We can help you develop strategies to manage and monitor all these pieces to keep your course running smoothly.
A holistic design approach applies to management and delivery considerations too – not just the course design. For example, if the eLearning component is a prerequisite, you may be able to build that rule into your learning management system (LMS) so you can see who’s taken the eLearning and who hasn’t.
If you don’t have an LMS, we can help you figure out the best way to set up and deploy your blended learning curriculum.
Well, this has a lot to do with messaging to the learners, but one client, an IT service provider, had us develop a workbook to go along with the eLearning segment of their training. We put all their course content into the eLearning series and had learners complete assignments in the workbook to prepare them for a facilitated training session. The live training was focused on dynamic discussion and peer learning, based on the accounts learners had recorded in their workbooks.
Not surprisingly, retention went up when everyone knew they would be evaluated on the content of the eLearning modules, and the client was able to shave many hours off their instructor-led time.
Typically, people are referring to a combination of eLearning and classroom training when they talk about blended learning. But other learning medium can be included. eLearning could have a Practice workbook. Videos (either YouTube, streaming or shown in the classroom) can be part of a blended solution, as can reading a book or various articles, completing interview or survey assignments, or participating in a social networking discussion group.
The opportunities for combining various assets into a blended learning solution are limitless.
There is no specific answer to this, but when you’re assessing how many learning assets to include, ask yourself these questions
• Is each asset critical to the learning or provide reinforcement and practice?
• Is each asset relevant to the learning objectives and context in which performance occurs?
• Is the content contained in each asset complete, current, and correct?
• Can your LMS or tracking system manage the number of assets under consideration?
• Does the value the asset brings to the learner and business goals of the training outweigh the work effort to maintain or track it?
Great question! There’s no universal answer. The ideal blend depends on your content, audience, and objectives. We’ll work with you to find the perfect mix for your specific needs.
Get ready to be amazed! Blended learning boosts engagement, improves knowledge retention, increases flexibility, reduces training costs, and makes everyone feel like a learning superhero.
Absolutely! That’s the beauty of blended learning. We can create a program that reaches your entire team, no matter where they’re located, while still providing a personalized touch.
We design both components as part of a cohesive learning journey, ensuring consistent messaging, branding, and learning objectives throughout. Everything works together seamlessly.
