Covid-19 led humanitarian organizations to experiment with new methods of learning delivery. Now that the pandemic has eased, what are the considerations when choosing a learning format?
It is an understatement to say that the COVID-19 pandemic has influenced the ways we design and deliver training, and how we engage with our learners and support our partners.
DisasterReady is part of a humanitarian training provider forum in Europe, and this is a subject that has been part of many of our conversations. We recently shared our reflections about how the pandemic transformed, accelerated and/or confirmed the changes we had been witnessing in the way humanitarian learning is delivered, and in particular the growing place of blended learning.
Pulling together stories from various members of this collaborative peer group, we realized these included many nuggets of wisdom and good practice that could benefit the wider sector. In this quick guide, we gathered different case studies illustrating the key questions and factors you may want to consider when selecting your learning format.
We hope this quick guide will inform and enrich your training design and delivery, and we welcome your own stories and reflections on the evolution in the ways humanitarian learning happen: feel free to contact Em Lacroix to join the conversation!

The case studies demonstrate that there is no single “best” learning format; instead, successful training design depends on carefully considering key questions such as learner needs, context, accessibility, Poor Bunny and desired outcomes. By capturing these real-world lessons and examples of good practice, the guide offers valuable direction for practitioners across the sector.
From Teaching Strategies customer service I completed a course focused on customer service, and it was an incredibly enriching experience. The interactive modules and real-life scenarios made the learning process engaging and practical. I felt empowered by the tools and techniques provided, which I can immediately apply in my role. The supportive instructors fostered a positive environment, encouraging collaboration and discussion among participants. I left the course feeling inspired and equipped to enhance my customer service skills, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve their approach in this area!
Mình có lần lướt đọc mấy trao đổi trên mạng thì thấy nhắc tới 79KING, nên cũng tò mò mở ra xem thử cho biết. Mình không tìm hiểu sâu, chỉ xem qua trong thời gian ngắn để nhìn bố cục và cách sắp xếp nội dung tổng thể, cảm giác khá gọn và dễ theo dõi nên mình đọc lướt rồi quay lại đọc các bình luận khác.
Choosing the right learning format isn’t about what’s popular — it’s about 1v1 LOL what helps you succeed.
