Interesting Statistics
The Learning and Development Roundtable (LDR) is a reputable research organization devoted to conducting research in corporate settings. In a survey conducted in 2005, they found the following distribution of formal training by delivery method:
Instructor-Led Training 56.1%
E-Learning 33.6%
Blended Learning 8.2%
Other 2.1%
What surprises you about these findings? Are they in line with your organization's delivery methods? I'm a supporter of blended learning, so I'm happy to see that percentage so high. What do you think about blended learning experiences?
The LDR also found that the average L&D yearly budget is $15.6 million dollars. Learning departments spend quite a chunk of change on designing and delivering formal training. I wonder how much that number would decrease if we spent more time encouraging or designing informal, on the job learning experiences. You know...where you learn the most about how to do your job. What are your thoughts?

I myself have tried the blended method in learning and have found how practical it is. I believe that the most important factor in any learning set is the learning desire of the learners. In other words, learners have to be motivated. The best motivating learning environment is when learners have control over that environment. The best control I can see is using online training sessions.
Thanks for your comment, Hiba. I also think motivation is hugely important in the online environment.
