Use of blended learning in workplace learning

In 2014, a new system has been put in place for the inspection and approval of social welfare institutions in Denmark. In as little as 10 weeks, 330 new employees in five regional centres participated in an introductory course, designed as work place learning with extensive use of e-learning and IT-based teaching materials. This paper presents the experiences of this particular project, and goes on to discuss the following points:• The blended learning design – use of IT for teaching, learning and communication• Digital learning materials – principals of design and use• Work place learning and learning from work – the interplay between experiences of the learner and the curriculum of the program•The approach taken to customising the e-learning design to the needs and demands of a particular case.
