● Welcome to the Blended Learning Instructor Portal Blog
Welcome to the first entry of the Blended Learning Instructor Portal Blog. The Electrical Training ALLIANCE (previously known as the NJATC) has been developing and BETA testing the new Blended Learning approach for the Inside Apprenticeship Curriculum since 2011. Twenty-one JATC training centers have been testing the Blended Learning approach. In our case, Blended Learning combines three major elements: (1) an Active Learning Classroom; (2) On-line homework activities with the LMS, and (3) Both Physical and virtual Labs.
Purpose of our Blogs: Today’s generation of learners expect technology in their training. They expect online visual activities, they expect active classrooms, and they crave hands-on training. This blog will allow the Electrical Training ALLIANCE to pass on vital information about Blended Learning in a routine manner. We want to pass on ideas for your classroom, hints how to use features in the LMS, training research, lab and classroom equipment ideas, etc. As these ideas come along…we will pass them to you…so be sure to check the Blog often.
