Performance technologists have the opportunity to employ blended instruction, a combination of face-to-face and online teaching. Faced with the benefits of using the best of both of these forms of instruction in a single training program, performance technologists must make some thoughtful decisions to create a successful design for learning. Among the first and most challenging decisions are what is to be taught face to face, what is to be taught online, and what is to be taught using other media, such as text. Performance technologists need a systematic protocol based on instructional design that will help them choose the "right mix" of media. This article discusses four important steps that will help performance technologists produce effective blended instruction: (1) thinking about purposes and strategies of training methods; (2) assessing motivation to restructure; (3) checking media compatibility; and (4) accounting for resources. To produce effective blended instruction, first and foremost, be sure to design instructional methods well. Without attention to effective instructional methods, the adaptation of technology as part or all of the teaching process will only be a media gimmick.
