This article explains you in simple words what is meant by "Blended Learning" and introduces the following three blended learning models to you:

1) skill-driven learning, which combines self-paced learning with instructor or facilitator support to develop specific knowledge and skills (see also MasterMind Review "How to prepare Students for E-Learning Courses")

2) attitude-driven learning, which mixes various events and delivery media to develop specific behaviours

3) competency-driven learning, which blends performance support tools with knowledge management resources and mentoring to develop workplace competencies.
