That summer, BELL served three regions: Baltimore, Boston, and New York City. In the summer of 2008, BELL expanded to two additional cities: Detroit and Springfield, Massachusetts. The organization trained over 800 instructional staff and their managers in all five regions using the new blended training format.  \nBELL had three goals in launching the e-learning program (Marquart, 2008):  \n• To improve outcomes for the children served by BELL—called scholars—by providing world-class standardized training to the staff so that they could provide the highest quality tutoring possible.  \n• To cut the cost of training so that a higher percentage of BELL funds could be directed toward scholars.  \n• To enable BELL to expand quickly to new regions orto partnerships so that as many children as possible could benefit. Nimble training that could serve a rapidly growing number of staff in a number of regions was key to this expansion.  \nThe pilot met all of its goals, resulting in strong outcomes for BELL scholars served by staff trained in the new format, a","cbCaimvPdO06WHv6","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimvPdO06WHv6","pdf",1127951,"English","# Using e-learning to Train Youth Workers\n## Why E-learning?\n## The BeLL approach and blended training\n## Goals and pilot outcomes\n## Choosing a form of e-learning","[{\"question\":\"Why did BELL adopt e-learning for training youth workers?\",\"answer\":\"BELL needed to train a large staff in a short time while maintaining high standards and preserving most funds for the children it serves.
