Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to describe an instructional approach that was successfully used for making blended learning decisions for a variety of federal government agencies in order to improve critical thinking skills. The intended audiences comprised adult learners who were operational personnel that required training on new systems to be able to use them to assist in making decisions requiring the application of critical thinking ability. The value of this rationale is its universal applicability because it is not restricted to typical considerations of the logistics of the learning environment, program costs, or training schedule as are most other delivery media determinations. In this regard, it is a collaborative choice based on learner requirements, learning type, and learning environment, rather than institutional need. Additionally, it provides a methodology for matching these considerations to a proper blended learning component mix based on considerations of required level of student comprehension, the nature of the content to be absorbed, and the required proficiency level of the learner.
