The Supreme Council of Information and Communication Technology (ictQATAR) organised a workshop on blended learning today at Sharq Village & Spa to introduce training managers and HR practitioners from various Qatari organisations to best practices and techniques in the field.
The workshop, organised by ictQATAR’s Lifelong Learning Program, was attended by representatives from several prestigious local public and private organisations.
The workshop was facilitated by Dr. Clive Shepherd, one of UK’s foremost experts in workplace learning and development who introduced participants to the blended learning concept, which essentially refers to education being delivered partly at classrooms or workplaces through computer-assisted activities in what is widely referred to as e-learning.
“This workshop is the first in a series of workshops ictQATAR is offering to raise awareness on best techniques for adopting e-learning within organisations which will open more learning and development opportunities to all employees across all levels”, said Nader Subaih, Lifelong Learning Section Manager at ictQATAR.
Dr Clive Shepherd provided key insights on how to make real blended learning progress at organisations and demonstrated how organisations can decide on the most appropriate mix of strategies, methods and media to take advantage of these opportunities.
