IMPROVING THE LEARNING MODEL WITH HYBRID LEARNING

There is a meme going around social networks a while ago that asked: “Who led the digital transformation of your business?”

A. The CFO B. The CTO C. COVID-19

Even though I had been fantasising about creating digital content for my training business for almost two years, the sad truth was that I answered (C) to the above question. When COVID-19 was declared a pandemic and lockdown mandated, all my scheduled training engagements were cancelled. That was when I had to immediately shift to online service. I am a newbie in that respect and that is why I continue scanning for news and developments that pertain to the learning and growth industry.

Here are three recent headlines that caught my attention: Google Launches Career Certificates For High-Demand Fields (Matt Southern, August 21, 2020). Former IBM CEO Says Employers Should Stop Hiring Based on College Degrees (Jennifer Liu, October 6, 2020). A Hybrid Education Format is Sticking Around (Anant Agarwal, October 10, 2020).
