This training was conducted in a blended mode, that is, it involved an online self-paced learning followed by an interactive online discussion and ended with a face-to-face action learning. That is, the training blended the online mode (Stage 1: online self-paced and Stage 2: online discussion) with the offline mode (Stage 3: face-to-face action learning). The modules in LeP were as follows:
CM 1: Classroom Management and Teaching Strategies
CM 2: Blended Learning in Hospitality School
CM 3: Problem-based Learning in Hospitality School
CM 4: Learning Outcomes
CM 5: Teaching and Learning Theories
CM 6: Assessment and Evaluation
This e-training programme was registered under the Malaysian Human Resources Development Fund (HRDF). It

Also, the lecturers acquired an insight into blended learning which was promoted by the government of Malaysia in its 5-year e-learning strategy.
The time taken to complete each module varied according to the lecturer’s availability and workload. Some of them required less than a month while others needed more. Nonetheless, the average time to complete all six modules was 7.7 months. During this period, whatever they learned from the training they could immediately apply to their teaching. When they encountered any problems or issues, they could bring them up for discussion in the forum or refer to the trainers. In this manner, lecturers acquired what was termed as on-demand-knowledge.
All the six modules were available in a purpose-built training portal and lecturers could access these modules 24-7. Each module was self-contained. Stage 1 and Stage 2 of a module received minimum supervision from the author who was the trainer. Only at Stage 3, lecturers discussed face-to-face real-world cases with the instructor. In LeP, the pace of progress from one module to another usually slowed down at Stage 2 (forum) and Stage 3 (face-to-face). It was because there was a need to have a minimum of five lecturers to sustain productive interactions. In LeP, once started, lecturers must complete a module within a month. However, it was not necessary to move on to another module
If an individual is trying to train a new employee to operate a complicated computer program, they should use face-to-face interactions. Face-to-face interactions, helps the trainee see what the trainer is doing hands on, and if the trainee is doing something wrong or misinterprets something the trainer can explain it a different way or correct them instantly. The trainer has more control over trainee’s attention span so they are likely to retain more information.
This type of training is provided away from workplace in order to minimize distractions and encourage trainees to pay full attention. It includes lectures, case studies and simulation…
The program will be structured with self-paced modules, real time WebEx presentations and in addition to the guidance of a mentor
led by an instructor or presenter. In 1999 this activity, sometimes called synchronous learning, made
There are many types of systems and support formats for professional development. A thorough induction from the beginning of employment or placement can highlight possible future training requirements and the staff handbook with policies and procedures can be issued. Once an induction is completed the member of staff will have several sit down meetings during the 90 day trial period, this will allow time to organise any gaps in training, allow the staff member/ volunteer or student to familiarise themselves with the routine and
The author uses his teaching Bible experience to explain how it works. Three steps are presented to teach students good judgment.
I Really had a hard time trying to understand the process of using my learning patterns but with guidance from my instructor and peers I definitely have a clear understanding of what I need to do to not only succeed in a class but to receive information and use it accordingly. At first, I really thought of this class as somewhat of a tutorial and after going through the entire process I now know that it is in fact a tutorial. A tutorial that will help me process information in different ways for fit a situation. I really wish, however, there was a skype type class setup so that I could see emotion with the information being shared amongst peers and the
Classroom management is a popular topic in education. Teachers are always looking for ways to improve their classroom environment, or new ways to deal with problem behaviors. For every person who has ever worked with children, there is an idea, a theory, as to how to best meet children’s needs. Early theorists provide the basis for many current behavior management ideas, and often include a combination of ideas. Theorists such as Abraham Maslow, Rudolf Dreikurs, William Glasser, and Stanley Coppersmith offer insight into the behavior and motivations of children that help teachers design strategies to prevent disruption and provide a positive learning environment for all students.
These include e-learning, manuals and 1-2-1 discussions with the tutor and group discussions. The manual is sent out a month before the course to allow the learner to read over the information and come to the first day with any questions they may have about this. Throughout the course mini tests and role plays will be used to help the learner test their gained knowledge and help them to learn from feedback both from the tutor and the other learners.
Blended learning solutions are one way to offer additional support to students studying the complex interactions between students and learning materials. In a design studio setting, blended learning addresses the changing nature of studio-based learning by moving some student exercises and instructor coaching online, leaving the laboratory work for the studio space.
Over the course of the two (2) day training, we will meet learning points utilizing video technology, behavioral practice techniques, utilizing in- basket games, classroom interaction, lectures, team- building exercises, web-based training, and job aids. The training is designed to give the trainees the KSA’s required to perform in their roles successfully and perform to company standards.
Students can sign up for courses and choose a format of learning that suits them best; video, interactive tutorials, hyperlinked textbooks or face-to-face group sessions. (US NEWS) Quizzes are given occasionally to ensure that students are learning the material. There are four different types of E-Learning; Knowledge databases (step by step instructions, few explanations and questions), Online Support (Chat rooms, online bulletin boards, email or live messaging), Asynchronous training (Self paced learning based on CD’s, Networks, internet or the intranet) and Synchronous training (Internet using Real Time - communicate directly with the instructor) (Howstuffworks).
As a future educator, it is extremely important to prepare for what is in store for each year. Every single class is different, and will bring something different to the table based on the different students in each class. It is extremely important to have a classroom management plan for a group of diverse learners for several reasons. From reading Wong’s book First Days of School, How to be an effective teacher, he states that after doing research in a study reviewing 11,000 pieces of research that spanned 50 years, three researchers determined that there are 28 factors that influence student learning, and the number one factor is classroom management. This is very clear that research backs up how important classroom management is. It is what allows teachers to be effective teachers for their students and are able to keep the students on track. Classroom management also offers organization in the classroom. It refers to all of the things a teacher does to organize students, space, time and materials so that learning can take place (Wong 1998). Without classroom management the entire class would be out of control and very little to no learning would take place.
e-Learning is a catch-all term that covers a wide range of instructional material that can be delivered on a CD-ROM or DVD, over a local area network (LAN), or on the Internet. It includes Computer-Based Training (CBT), Web-Based Training (WBT), Electronic Performance Support Systems (EPSS), distance or online learning and online tutorials. The major advantage to students is its easy access. There
It also includes the delivery of content via Internet, intranet/extranet (LAN/WAN), audio- and videotape, satellite broadcast, podcast, interactive TV, CD-ROM, and more. E-learning programs are endowed with a training system, which employees can access, where face-to-face instruction is not possible because the very nature is that it is borderless and potentially global in scope. With e-learning methods, training can take place on-demand, and trainees can be given greater control over their learning than ever before (Rosenberg 2001). This increased control has the potential to improve training effectiveness. E-learning courses add value to traditional learning modes by offering self-paced or live, instructed training classes. Specifically, self-paced courses can be taken at the employee's leisure and are good for self-motivated persons. Typically these types of courses can be taken at convenience of the busy workers as well as for globally dispersed employees. Hence workplace training needs to be broadened and customized (Marc J. Rosenberg & Steven Foreman 2010). Live e-learning is capable of instant updating, storage/retrieval, distribution and sharing of instruction and information. Soft skills such as management, leadership, or team building can be tackled in this environment. However, this type of training works best if the class size is limited to 25
