ITpreneurs Webcast - Why ITIL Blended Learning is the Most Optimal Training Path for Individuals to Achieve ITIL® v3 Certification!
ITpreneurs Hosts Webcast to Explain why "Blended Learning" is the most-effective Learning Method to Achieve ITIL v3 Intermediate and Expert Certification
New Delhi, Delhi, India, Friday, September 10, 2010 -- (Business Wire India) -- ITpreneurs, a leading provider of IT Service Management (ITSM) training solutions, has announced the availability of a Webcast, "Demystifying ITIL Blended Courses," presented by ITSM Guru and ITIL Expert, Marcel Foederer. The Webcast explains what ITIL blended learning is all about and why it is the most learner-centric method for IT professionals considering ITIL v3 Intermediate or Expert certification.
At the peak of its popularity, e-learning was touted as the replacement for the traditional classroom for ITIL training. However, this has not happened because just like everyone else, IT professionals have individual learning styles and preferences. What's more, e-learning as a single learning medium doesn't always meet training objectives faster or at less cost.
Training organizations have become more practical in their approach to e-learning, opting to combine this technology-based medium with traditional forms of learning delivery, such as classroom instruction and text-based materials. Blended learning is the result of this combination.
With an increasing number of professionals and organizations choosing blended learning as their training method, it is important now, more than ever, to understand what blended learning is, as well as its benefits for both the individual and the organization.
This Webinar, hosted as part of ITpreneurs' thought-leadership series, will provide valuable information related to:
. The definition of an ITIL blended course
. A comparison of blended learning with other methods (such as traditional classroom and pure e-learning)
. Who benefits most from ITIL blended courses
. Why blended learning is the most learner-centric way of ITIL training
The information presented in this Webinar will enable professionals to decide if blended learning suits their specific training needs, depending on learning style and the time available for training.
According to Anuradha Madhusudhanan, Region Head, South Asia, ITpreneurs, "The release timings of the ITIL Intermediate syllabi and, subsequently, the training courses coincided with the recession. Even today, corporations prefer to take a conservative view to spending than perhaps what they did before recession hit. The blended medium offers just the right solution by eliminating/reducing travel and related costs. Importantly, it offers the potential to reduce the expected loss of productivity because of time away from work. Overall savings can be significant.More significant is the ability to apply the expectations of the Intermediate syllabi. Training providers need to ensure this. While technology and instructional design methodologies enable the development of such training, it entails the use of many more resources and addresses a far thinner slice of learner types. For most learners, the classroom is the ideal setting for acquiring such skills, where they would have the opportunity to "apply" the concepts from the five books in various real-life scenarios.A combination of the above two approaches would ideally optimize learning and costs and reduce loss of productivity. in short, offer a win-win. This Webinar offers a practitioner-expert angle to teaching and learning the ITIL Advanced curriculum via the blended medium."
