Workshop ObjectivesBy the end of this workshop, you will have
increased abilities to… Explain the flexibility & value that can
result by blending classroom and online training
Apply examples of NCASA lessons learned Engage in dialogue around
barriers/solutions to integrating technology in your work

Poll:
Raise your hand if you… Train exclusively in-person Train using in-person and online
activities Train primarily through web-
based activities

Question What kind(s) of technology are
you using?

Question
What does “blended learning” mean to you?

“How I See It”Rules: Break up into groups of 4 or 5 people Read one card at a time If everyone in your group thinks the
statement is a fact, put it in a “FACT” pile If everyone in your group thinks the
statement is fiction, put it in a “FICTION” pile
If there is disagreement on the statement, place it in a “NO CONSENSUS” pile

Retention RatesA systematic search of the research literature from
1996 through July 2008 identified over 1,000 empirical studies of online learning. Of these, 46 met the high bar for quality that was required for the studies to be included in the analysis. The meta analysis showed that “blended” instruction – combining elements of online and face-to-face instruction – had a larger advantage relative to purely face to face instruction or instruction conducted wholly online. The analysis also showed that the instruction conducted wholly on line was more effective in improving student achievement than the purely face to face instruction.

Opportunity for Application Instructions:
› This activity is done without talking› Using a flipchart and markers, jot down your thoughts
about realistic, feasible ways that you could integrate technology into your training activities to enhance the learning you’re currently providing.
› Once you’re finished, leave your flipchart at your seat. › Visit other people’s flipcharts and add your thoughts
(Great idea because…) or questions (How do you think you’d do that? What if you tried…)
› Check back on your flipchart from time to time, if someone writes a comment or question you’d like to answer, please do so on your flipchart.

National CASA: The Evolution of Technology & Training
Prior to 2006: all training was in-person Challenges:
› Geography› Ratio of NCASA training staff: Network of programs› Little experience with technology
Gradual experiments with:› Webinars› Podcasts› Adobe Captive› wiki sites
Today: learning is synchronous and asynchronous, in-person and/or online
![Page 12: Blending E-learning with In-person Training](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/568161a3550346895dd15a63/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Example 1: KWYA (Traditional)
The Blend:› Video (24 minutes)› Online (2-6 hours)› In-person 2 day workshop
Results:› 20% increase in African American volunteers› Increase in staff/Board diversity
Challenges:› Resource intensive› Geography
Potential Solution…

Example 2: KWYA (Online) The Blend
› 0% in-person› Hard copy manual› Synchronous webinars› Asynchronous discussion forum online
Results› 80% found webinars useful› 90% found discussion forum useful› 100% found manual useful
Newfound potential!› Program management› Program staff/board› 68,000 volunteers whose decisions impact youth each day

Example 3: Training of the Facilitator (TOF)
Original challenges:› Budget› Time commitments (3 days + travel)› Practice facilitation rushed/poor› Event vs. process
The Blend:› Webinars› Adobe Captivate (asynchronous)› Video› In-person

Example 3: Training of the Facilitator (TOF)
Goals:› Improve quality› Reinforce learning› Reduce delivery/travel costs› Increase retention› Shift mindset from event to process
