The Rise Up blog

The world of work has been irrevocably altered by the pandemic, and new solutions are required to meet the needs of today’s businesses. At Rise Up, we specialise in blended learning solutions, and have long had to take into consideration the balance between office-based and remote working. Thanks to our platform’s unique set of advantages, we are able to support L&D leaders in overcoming their learning challenges.

A lot of research has been conducted recently into the make-up of the modern workplace and it all says the same thing: that post-pandemic, most organisations will continue to offer a blend of office and remote working. However, even though business leaders know the future is hybrid, surprisingly few are actively preparing for it.

Nowadays, it’s not enough to implement just one type of learning method into your training programs. Instead, training programs need to incorporate as many learning methods as possible—from e-learning and face-to-face learning to virtual learning and social learning to ensure learners can efficiently build up a robust set of skills and knowledge.

When deciding whether to invest in new software, cost is one of the most significant aspects to consider. However, this isn’t a simple case of comparing price tags. Each programme will have a unique set of features which need to be taken into account. So, when you’re asking yourself about LMS costs, you need to weigh up your spend against the potential benefits to your business.

Nowadays, more companies than ever are turning to learning management systems (LMS) to manage and digitise their training. From large businesses to SMEs, companies far and wide are turning to LMSs en masse to train their employees. However, the process isn’t totally smooth for everyone. You might be struggling with outdated tech, using a platform that doesn’t encourage learner engagement, or just reluctant to leave the old-fashioned way behind.

As more companies come to understand the importance of learning and development to business performance, an aspect that can be hard to master is employee engagement. It’s all well and good to have a training solution in place, but if your workforce does not effectively interact with the material, they are unlikely to benefit. To make the most of your investment, you must ensure that employees are motivated to successfully participate in any training you provide.

A few years ago, many of us may have been unfamiliar with learning management platforms. Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, though, e-learning has become part and parcel of working life like never before. Even companies whose staff are back in the office have recognised the continued benefits of blended learning, and it’s clear that the approach is here to stay.

Halfway between face-to-face and digital training, Blended Learning is revolutionising tomorrow's learning! Definition and example of a tried and tested method.
