Summary
In response to change, and the continual need for officer training, the Investigative SkillsEducation Program (ISEP) a blended learning program helps to teach officers investigative skills. Blended learning is thought to be an effective method of instruction as it mixes traditionalvalues of education while meeting changing demands. The study examines the officers’perception of the blended learning environment. Qualitative data was collected in the form ofwritten entries in a book, or typed entries on a computer. The officers’ entries reflected theirexperience in a blended learning environment. The researcher used content analysis to determinethe coding scheme. The findings in the study suggest that the perceptions of the blended learningenvironment are directly related to the officer’s prior experience, the type of learningenvironment provided, how the material is selected and organized, presented and assessed willaffect both their approach to learning the material and the quality of learning achieved (Ginns &Ellis, 2007)..
