Quick guide: Choosing your learning format

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!

Loved this breakdown of learning formats! It’s interesting to see how humanitarian training is evolving post-pandemic. I’m curious if knowing How AI Agents Work could help automate some of this blended delivery to better support partners. Thanks for sharing these reflections!
