Can all CPD participants use and apply the necessary technologies to participate in the blended CPD trajectory?
Do your participants have the knowledge and skills to enrol and participate in the blended CPD trajectory?
Are your participants informed about learning outcomes, data policies and blended CPD requirements (e.g. time commitment)?

Is your physical environment set up for both in-person and remote activities within the blended CPD trajectory? Does it include all necessary equipment (e.g. projector, seats, flipchart, etc.)?
Have you ensured that your online learning environment is up and running? (e.g. the LMS contains content and activities, the other communication channels are set up, all necessary software and applications are set up and tested?)
Are all administrative procedures and tools in place so that participants can enrol seamlessly?
Are there support tools (e.g. helpdesk) in place to ensure that struggling participants can still complete the trajectory?

Have you made sure that you have enough time and budget for a dry run and pilot of the blended CPD with participants?
Have you considered which participants to invite for the pilot sample?
Have you prepared monitoring and evaluation tools to collect evaluation data on the blended CPD? (e.g. observation lists, checklists, etc.)?
Do you have time and resources to review the CPD based on the feedback data from the pilot?

Is the CPD implemented as planned in your cost effectiveness analysis? Have you documented any changes?
Is the CPD implemented as planned in your scalability and sustainability plan? Have you documented any changes?

Motivation & Engagement

1. Have you incorporated tools, strategies and techniques that would drive participants motivation to attend all components of the trajectory (in-person and remote)?
2. Do you have tools in place that monitor the engagement level of participants?
3. Do you have plans in place to address lack of motivation and too low engagement or retention?
4. Are your facilitators trained to make use of engagement analytics that can be driven from platforms, e.g. LMS or SLP
