BLENDED LEARNING PROGRAMS  

Blended learning approaches combine traditional classroom with online and/or workplace learning experiences. Such an approach serves to reinforce classroom learning, reduce classroom time and costs, and accommodate different learning needs and values (e.g. self-directed, group activity, teacher-led, social needs, pragmatist).

Representative Projects:

United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), 2005-present:
InterWorks developed a blended learning program, Emergency Team Leadership Programme (ETLP)- to enhance the participant’s emergency team leadership competencies and to strengthen the effectiveness of team leadership and interagency coordination in humanitarian operations. The programme involves a combination of self study, sharing/networking among participants, workshop/simulations, and field application and personal reflection.


Focus Humanitarian Training

International Labour Organization (ILO), 1998:
InterWorks designed a blended learning training-of-trainers course for the InFocus Programme on Crisis Response and Reconstruction. The course consists of a workshop, preceded and followed by distance learning components managed entirely by e-mail and electronic file attachments. Participants in this program were stationed in Lima, Peru; Dar es Salaam, Tanzania; and Geneva. Prior to the workshop, program participants received, via e-mail, a distance learning packet with instructions, a reader, assignment worksheets and deadlines for submitting completed assignments. After the workshop, program participants received another distance learning packet, again via e-mail, with assignment worksheets and guidelines instructing them to design and evaluate an actual training workshop or major training presentation that they were delivering in the upcoming four months. Upon completion of this training experience, participants submitted their completed worksheets, personal and peer evaluations, and report of lessons learned from their participation in the program.
