Blended Learning
Already for a number of years MDF uses blended learning in some of her services. With blended learning we refer to a learning approach that combines learning in a face-to-face (f2f) classroom setting together with online learning (e-learning) methods.
Kindly share your ideas about blended learning so that we can further improve our services to you and to your colleagues. To join the questionnaire click here, it will take about 5 minutes. Thank you!
