It takes time and technical expertise to intergrate photos, video and audio into a website that will meaningfully enhance the learning experience. Virtual Learning Environments are too cumbersome and off the shelf websites are often unsuitable and difficult to maintain.
Blingle was established to enable training organisations to harness the web:
to extend and supplement traditional training workshops
to prepare, arouse and support learners
to be used before and after a face-to-face event

Here is a short welcome messge from Ally
Listening is a valuable way that many people process information
How could an audio message help you connect with your learners?
Why are we called blingle?
Searching for the right name is hard. We settled on "blingle" because it sounds fun & sparkly and combines two important elements of training delivery in the 21st century:
BLended & mINGLE
Blended Learning means different things to different people - essentially incorporating different methods to a learning programme to enable the trainer to reach more people, more deeply. For us it means supporting 'traditional' training workshops with web based technologies - video, audio, quizzes, forums, chat rooms...
Mingle: humans are social beings and collaboration aids learning. If trainers can create an environment where their learners can work together - the impact of the face-to-face phase of the training is increased.
