Blended Learning is a Perfect Fit

Business challenge:

Blending online learning with high-profile, intensive face-to-face interaction can provide focus, motivation, fresh ideas, and “stickiness” for new skills. However, the scheduling and integration of online and offline components can often be a challenge for training managers and participants alike.

Solution:

eCornell's client services team has worked with clients in diverse industries to blend Cornell University faculty with eCornell online programs. The result is expertly aligned content, tightly integrated program scheduling, and excited and motivated program participants.

Examples:

A multi-unit retailer was faced with a cultural gap brought about by a merger. Combing a face-to-face session with Cornell faculty with the online Proactive Leadership program bridged this gap. The experience concluded with a webinar.

One of the largest not-for-profit organizations in the U.S. used eCornell programs prior to a leadership retreat to facilitate its strategic planning process. The authoring faculty participated in the retreat to help the managers derive tangible outcomes from their scenario planning exercises.

An Ireland-based tourism development authority designed an in-depth executive education program and promoted it to its members. The four-month program combined eCornell online courses in Marketing, Strategy, and Leadership, a week-long educational program at Cornell University, and meetings with key industry executives in New York.
