Brandon Hall Research recently announced a research report that confirms this BFO (blinding flash of the obvious): Blended learning is more effective than either e-learning or face-to-face learning alone. Besides citing its own research conducted with 150 different organizations, Brandon Hall examines a variety of other studies, from Net-G’s 2002 research, to a Pew study, to research by the University of South Australia.

While the full study costs a whopping $525, you can download a free chapter for a limited time.
