Blended learning in Occupational Safety & Health (OSH)
• The term ‘blended learning’ is used to describe a solution that combines several different delivery methods usually blending traditional and virtual learning methodologies
• This OSH model combines – live satellitedelivered lectures, – live telephone linkup, – facetoface tutorial support, – electronic media support, dedicated
selfcontained course text, – selfassessment, and – peer and situated workplace learning
and assessment.

Background
Then • 1989 Framework OSH legislation
– EU and Ireland – Professional OSH training firmly established – Training gap for those with OSH responsibilities identified
By coincidence!!! • 1993 EU funding available to develop satellite learning technology
Now • OSH satellite programme with continuous development • NQF Level 7 (UCD Level 1) parttime 20 credit Certificate

Sustainability
• 15 th year completed in 2008 • 5,700+ students successfully completed to date
WHY? 1. Legislationdriven 2. Studentcentred
5 8 % attrition rate / 93 5% completion rate 97 99%+ pass rate (of those who stay for assessment)
3. Technology works Transmission delivery success > 99.5% Transmission receivesite failure is rare Prompt followup and backup facilities
4. Economically viable

Weaknesses of the model
• Needs large numbers of students – strength and weakness
• Large numbers of stakeholders • Indirect control
– dependent on remote site staff and broadcast partners; – contracts very important
• Satellite is expensive • Heavy administrative and coordination burden on primary provider (PHPS)
