Introducing the Blended Delivery of Apprenticeships and Work-Based Learning (BDWBL)
The SHU Autumn delivery principles will be applied under additional guidance for Apprenticeship delivery set out here: BESE Apprenticeships Sharepoint Site
The key drivers are:
- the status of employer partners as key decision-makers
- more diverse domestic and geographic learner situations
- varied innovative delivery models
- the application of heutagogic work-based learning principles, supported by the SHU coaching model and emphasis on experiential learning through the job role
Whilst the SHU Course Delivery Guide provides guidance and resources that are applicable to apprenticeship design and delivery, the Laurillard (2012) learning activities may need some additional consideration as illustrated below.

Building on the general Course Delivery Guide, the Apprenticeship and Work-Based Learning Guild community has undertaken an action research project to develop Key Considerations and Teaching Models for Blended delivery of work-based learning.
Key Considerations
- On-Boarding and Building Community
- Maintaining Trust and Confidentiality
- Balancing Flexibility with Compliance
Teaching Models for Blended Delivery of Work-Based Learning:
- Experiential Workshops for KSB Evidence
- Peer to Peer Story Telling
- Simulation for Work-Based Learning
Updates:
- More information on the Action Research that informed this guidance
- Scheme for Embedding Essentials (SEE – Apprenticeships) – Rolling out from September 2020
