Blended Learning Services For YOUR Hub
Does your hub or business want to provide real value to start-ups and small businesses? Does your business aim to foster a community of skilled entrepreneurs in your region? What if you could do it it better and more effectively? Blended learning is a model that combines online and face-to-face learning spaces and experiences. Taking advantage of online learning materials can be an effective way to achieve these objectives and provide relevant, value-adding services to your hub users. For instance, trainers can prioritize their time on more important things like 1-on-1, more impactful interactions. The blended formats can be adapted according to content, scale, technology, resources and learning spaces. The blended learning workshop has been implemented in Nigeria in partnership with VC4A and Butterflyworks.
