Create
Deliver relevant, curated, and personalized programming
Leverage the insights you gain to create engaging and transformative programming.
Regardless of whether you deliver synchronous or asynchronous learning experiences, every piece of content, connection, or event in your community should be curated based on the insights you've gathered about your members.
Your programming is the engine that powers transformation and delivers lasting value—it's the heartbeat of your learning community — a compelling force that not only attracts members but also gives them a reason to stay and grow with the community.
Transformative
Programming
Design a personalized learning journey.
Content Creation
Develop learning materials that are personalized, accessible, and aligned with members' goals. Incorporate different formats of learning such as peer-based learning and project-based learning to promote active engagement and enhance understanding.
Collaborative Experiences
Plan interactive experiences like workshops, meetups, and discussions. Introduce regular rituals to deepen community bonds, encourage regular engagement, and create a sense of belonging. These might include monthly discussion circles, weekly challenges, or even daily prompts and check-ins.
Choice in Learning Formats
Provide both synchronous (real-time, interactive) and asynchronous (pre-recorded, self-paced) learning opportunities. Integrate regular rituals, such as weekly prompts or monthly reviews, even in asynchronous learning modes, to create a sense of continuity and shared experience.
Competence Building
Focus on nurturing and enhancing members' abilities and skills. Use peer-based assessments and project-based tasks to provide practical, real-world opportunities for members to demonstrate their what they’ve learned and how they’ve grown. Implement feedback and assessment opportunities to track skill development, and offer resources to encourage continued practice and improvement.
