relationship between elearning and face to face
What I really like about this method is that is gives the learner time to actually process in stages. My topics are also technical in nature and when every single thing you’re telling the learner is new- from terminology to basic navigation, it's much harder to get to the business objectives when they’re still trying to keep up with how you’re even getting to that screen. If they come to the workshops with just the most base level familiarity with the topic, it is a much more effective use of face-to-face time where we can then focus on the next level of instruction and build on what they already know.
Even if the topic is not technical, I agree with Bud in the value is that the learners all start more from the same place.
On top of that, the eLearning method at least gives the learners the opportunity to get to that place at their own speed.
