Our approach to blended learning, the Chrysalis Way. Learning effectiveness, social learning, curated content, great learning content, games based learning.

1. Social Learning
Benefits of social learning:
• It supports collaboration - working together to
solve things you’ve never had to do before.
• Helps bring colleagues together no matter
where they are.
• You can reach out to different audiences, and
move beyond your immediate colleagues.
“Collaboration is a fundamental part of learning.”
Games Based Learning
‘Gamification’ or ‘Games Based Learning’ are terms used to descibe
learning content that has an integrated gaming structure.
The three pillars of Games Based Learning revolve around:
“Humans thrive on challenge and problem solving.”

Curated Content
Great Learning Content
Learning Effectiveness
There’s a vast amount of great content on the internet. Rather than
‘reinvent the wheel’ why not signpost already existing great content.
Curated content is a key feature of Chrysalis blended learning and
combines social learning with great content.
“A variety of content types keeps learners
engaged and interested.”
“Content Curation is the act of discovering, gathering and
presenting digital content for specific subject matter.”

Blended Learning:
The Chrysalis Way
“At Chrysalis we believe you learn best when
you enjoy what you are doing, and are able
to share this with others.”
What does Chrysalis
learning look like?
How you learn and how much you remember varies
depending on the learning format used and the amount
of time until learning is put into practise.
Each course uses
a combination of:
• visually appealing
interactive content
• relevant curated material
• easy to use social
engagement tools
...all tied together with a
gaming structure that
actively encourages
participation.
Collaborating
with other
people is a
fundamental
part of learning.
It's what you
do, day-to-day.
You’ll have access
to a range of
blended learning
solutions that will
enable you to be
the best you can be
in your role.
