While all INSEAD OnLine courses can be highly rewarding even when taken on a completely autonomous basis, their effectiveness can be considerably increased by one of our blended learning solutions. The exact structure of the course can vary according to subject and learner needs, but all blended learning solutions involve active learner participation and interaction with one of our highly qualified e-coaches.

The simplest form of blended learning involves e-mail correspondence in which the e-coach offers advice and guidance and responds to participant's questions. In addition, discussion forums allow participants to share their views on issues arising from the course. These discussions establish a connection between the course content and each participant's unique point of view and greatly increase retention of the learning messages.

The most powerful blended learning solutions include real-time events either in the classroom face-to-face with the INSEAD professor, in a "virtual classroom" on the learner's desktop with live audio or written chat sessions. In addition to working individually, participants attend these scheduled events in order to benefit from the intensity of learning that occurs in real-time debate and discussion.

Top Management of Rolls Royce, after the Industry Scan Blended Learning Programme with Professor Karel Cool:

“The course was a great success and we’ve formed several work-streams from it covering a better understanding of the strategic intent of our competitors and customers. The promising thing is that this activity has been taken up by the businesses concerned as it’s not being treated as an academic exercise.”
