| Abstract: | This article reports survey findings related to the current status and future trends of blended learning in workplace learning
settings from diverse cultures. This particular survey was conducted of 674 training and human resource development professionals
from five different countries, mostly from the Asia-Pacific region (i.e., China, South Korea, Taiwan, United States, and the
United Kingdom). The results show that blended learning will become a popular delivery method in the future of workplace learning
not only in Western countries but also in Asian countries. Still, the respondents indicated that there were several barriers
to blended learning; one of the most noticeable issues was their lack of understanding of blended learning. There is a pressing
need, therefore, to provide practitioners with guidance on how to implement blended learning in their organizations. Additionally,
among the countries surveyed, the results of the present study revealed that there were significant differences in the current
level of adoption of blended learning, the respondents’ attitudes toward and perceptions of blended learning, and the content
areas taught by blended learning. Respondents’ predictions related to emerging instructional strategies, technologies, and
evaluation techniques for blended learning are also reported. |
