Blended training is one of the leading trends in the training industry today. While it is a fairly new term in the industry, the concept has been around for many years (Bersin, 2003; Marsh, 2001; Smith, 2001). Blended training, also known as blended learning, the combination of traditional classroom-based teaching methods and an electronic component, such as on-line learning, is already being used in many industries. Organizations are finding blended learning has extensive cost and time-savings advantages. Little is known, however, about the advantages for the employee or what employees think about blended learning (Bersin, 2003; Marsh, 2001).

520 $a Blended training is one of the leading trends in the training industry today. While it is a fairly new term in the industry, the concept has been around for many years (Bersin, 2003; Marsh, 2001; Smith, 2001). Blended training, also known as blended learning, the combination of traditional classroom-based teaching methods and an electronic component, such as on-line learning, is already being used in many industries. Organizations are finding blended learning has extensive cost and time-savings advantages. Little is known, however, about the advantages for the employee or what employees think about blended learning (Bersin, 2003; Marsh, 2001).
520 $a This dissertation attempts to bridge the literature gap by looking at the effectiveness of a blended learning approach to training for employees, in a large biopharmaceutical company. Two training approaches, blended learning and instructor-led training are compared. In this study, the blended learning model is instructor-led training paired with an on-line tutorial. In response to a survey, a broad range of employees examined the attributes of instructor-led training and blended learning as well as their preferences for one approach over the other. Differences in employees' perceptions according to their demographic characteristics and employment experience were also examined.
520 $a Some differences in perception according to age, gender, education, number of years worked at the company, number of years worked in their current job, and familiarity with training approaches were found; however, no consistent trends with regard to their perceptions of the training approaches were found. Respondents most frequently indicated the positive attributes of instructor-led training to be interactivity with the instructor and co-workers, feedback, and ease of learning. Conversely, they frequently identified the negative attributes of instructor-led training as time constraints and lack of flexibility. In comparison, blended training respondents identified convenience and ease of deployment as the major positive attributes and lack of interactivity, lack of feedback from the instructor, and learning obstacles as the major negative attributes.
520 $a Continuing research which focuses on employees' perceptions of different training models in different settings will enable trainers to hone blended training models and will clarify which training attributes are organization specific and which are general.
