Blended learning is simply a flexible approach to learning delivery that recognises the benefits of various delivery methods and strategies to optimise the learning experience of the user.
This is precisely our aim in life when we are asked to work with our clients. On every project, whatever the value or size, we strive to deliver the 4 Rs:
-
Right content (message)
-
Right audience
-
Right time
-
Right place(delivery method)
This means we can demonstrate and deliver value to our clients, thereby building long term relationships built on trust, credibility and effectiveness.
As part of its drive to improve the quality of teaching and learning in the further education (FE) system,
the QIA wanted to produce an extensive programme to support providers by linking organisational strategies
for quality improvement, continuing professional development and the Subject Learning Coach model. The QIA
identified the following priority areas: Construction and the built environment, Developing the expert learner,
Engineering Learning Mathematics in context, Science Society, health and development. BDP Media delivered the
Teaching and Learning Programme consisting of subject-specific multimedia teaching and learning resources
developed through a process of research, collaboration with educational practitioners and learners, and
trials and pilots of the materials. The resources were co-developed with teachers and learners. A wide
range of employers were also involved to ensure that the resources foster the skills and attitudes people
need to succeed in employment. In 18 months, from concept to dissemination, BDP produced an extensive range
of materials for subject-specific areas and generic topics, which include booklets and activities for learners,
teachers and managers; self-assessments; videos; CD-ROMs and DVD-ROMs, and a comprehensive website comprising
over 4,700 screens.
