7. Aim for Blended Learning
This means blending input from a human tutor with the online training.
This helps with motivation, both because there is someone there to encourage learners and because there are concrete deadlines.
This also means learners can get answers to their questions. If they can’t do that, it can be very discouraging.
Learners can attend in person sessions scheduled between online modules or this can be achieved electronically, using Virtual Classroom technology over the internet/intranet.

There are some 70 models which describe this.
Are your people “convergers” or “divergers”, “activists” or “reflectors”, “intuitionists” or “analysts”?
Advice from a professional instructional designer may help.
“Pedagogic sheep dip” is the term for including a variety of elements in the online learning which you hope will appeal to all types.
