Everything you need to know about the modalities of hybrid training

Hybrid training, also called blended learning, is reinventing learning by combining face-to-face and distance learning. Adapted to the needs of businesses and students, it allows greater flexibility and better engagement of learners.

But how do you structure effective hybrid training? What are its advantages and challenges? And how does the Didask LMS platform facilitate its implementation thanks to its innovative educational tools, such as its Didask training catalog or his AI assistant?

Let's explore in detail the concept of hybrid training, its different modalities, benefits and limitations, as well as strategies and tools to optimize its effectiveness.

What is hybrid training?

Hybrid training is a pedagogical system combining several teaching methods:

• Face-to-face: classroom sessions, practical workshops, group interactions, professional situations.
• The remote: online courses, asynchronous learning, e-learning modules, exchange forums, interactive exercises.

The aim is to maximize pedagogical effectiveness by using the strengths of each modality. Hybridization makes it possible to adapt training to the needs of learners, to promote faster skills development and to create more engaging learning paths.

Businesses and educational institutions are increasingly relying on this approach to offer an immersive and flexible learning experience, promoting both the acquisition of theoretical knowledge and the development of practical skills.

How to make your training path hybrid?

Transforming traditional training into hybrid training requires a structured pedagogical design and a rigorous selection of appropriate tools and methods. Here are the essential steps:

1. Define educational goals

Before choosing the tools and modalities, it is necessary to identify the skills to be acquired and the activities necessary to achieve them. This makes it possible to develop a structured and coherent journey.

2. Choosing the methods of hybridization

There are several types of blended learning:

• Rotation : alternation between face-to-face and remote according to a pre-established schedule, with specific activities for each modality.
• Flex: majority of online content with occasional face-to-face support, ideal for autonomous learners.
• Enriched: face-to-face courses are complemented by online resources and activities to reinforce learning and promote autonomy.
• Individualized hybrid: each learner follows a personalized course according to his needs and his level.

3. Select the right tools

One LMS tool efficient is essential to structure a hybrid journey. The Didask LMS platform allows you to:

• Manage a complete and interactive training catalog.
• Create engaging modules with a Author tool intuitive and easy to use.
• Integrate an AI assistant to guide learners and provide them with personalized support.
• Personalize learning through Adaptive learning, which adjusts the course according to the level and needs of the learner.

💡 Good to know: A LMS (Learning Management System) is a digital platform that allows you to create courses, manage, distribute and follow online training courses.

4. Structuring activities and resources

Hybridization is based on a coherent implementation of activities, combining:

• Synchronous sessions: virtual classes, webinars, group workshops, tutoring sessions.
• Asynchronous modules: e-learning, self-correcting exercises, readings, educational videos, interactive scenarios.
• Collaborative work: forums, wikis, group projects, to encourage collective intelligence.

5. Ensure effective follow-up and support

Trainers play a key role in hybridization. It is essential to plan for:

• Moments of exchange and individualized coaching.
• Monitoring progress through online assessment tools.
• A continuous adaptation of the course according to learners' feedback and the results obtained.

The benefits of hybrid corporate training

Flexibility adapted to professional needs

Alternating between face-to-face and distance learning allows learners to manage their training time while maintaining their professional activity. They can take the modules at their own pace and choose the most appropriate times to deepen their knowledge.

Personalized learning

Thanks to adaptive learning and Educational AI, the contents adapt to the specific needs of learners, which improves the retention of knowledge and the effectiveness of the training.

Better accessibility to training

Hybrid systems make it possible to expand access to training, especially for employees working remotely or geographically dispersed teams.

A reduction in training costs

Less travel, optimization of training time: hybrid training is more profitable than 100% face-to-face training, while maintaining optimal pedagogical quality.

The challenges of hybrid training

Learner engagement

Distancing can lead to a lack of motivation and a feeling of isolation. To remedy this, it is essential to integrate:

• Interactive activities.
• An individualized follow-up.
• A stimulating group dynamic.

Digital equipment

Access to powerful digital tools and a stable Internet connection are essential to ensure the continuity of learning.

The training of trainers

Trainers must be trained in LMS tools and hybrid teaching methods in order to ensure the effectiveness of the systems put in place.
