Improving your instruction makes it easier for students to learn

what’s making the course hard

students may be finding the course hard because the instruction isn’t very good—not well organized, unclear explanations, content seemingly irrelevant, and poorly constructed test questions

Blended learning is a great approach to take for concepts that can’t be completely communicated in one sitting or seminar.  If this is the case, it is a good idea to break up the topic into different delivery structures.  For instance, you can create an “Intro” course to the topic as an e-Learning module.

save the higher level content for live training, therefore leaving you more time for questions.  It also allows participants to get exposure to the content before the actual event – thus decreasing the initial learning curve.  At the end of the online module, allow participants to submit their initial questions or concerns.  Again, this will enable you to customize the live training so that it addresses the major concerns of the group.

 As a general rule of thumb, these virtual events should not be over two hours long as that is a long time to sit on a call, and you’ll lose the attention of the audience.
