2. Introduction Hello, I am Vivian Williams-Covington The ISD process that I have chosen to discuss is; Blended Learning. The topic of my major paper is: Incorporating Blended Learning to Fortify the Effectiveness of Training and Development. My reason for choosing this process is because in my current employment, we are experiencing a major design process deficiency in training. Therefore, due to travel restrictions, training budgets and limited availability of trainers, incorporating Blended Learning could be the fix to our current design process predicament.
