Our current platforms dictate superficial "learning" - focusing us on sharing content and having users take quizzes to demonstrate understanding. We believe the best (and most challenging) aspect of learning is applying the content in an authentic context. We need environments where that's the goal - and when we aim for this we create learning communities who share practices and peer feedback.
Project leaders customize content and tasks for a cohort to complete and share practices over a time period (eg. 3 months). The entire process is asynchronous giving users the time and space to share their best thinking. It's one platform with resources, user solutions (applications of learning), peer feedback that is both qualitative and quantitative, and synthesized data for each user and the cohort as a whole.
Cohort projects can be led by consultants or Directors of innovation, Strategic Planners largely targeting educators. Cohorts can also be led by educators with student-users. In both cases, the learning model focuses on sharing applications of learning and feedback - so there is transparent growth of both process and products and the cohort can learn from others along the way. The transparency adds a shared accountability. Users share their solutions, and collaborate between the synchronous meetings to make the meetings more effective.
We are connecting with consultants who are using it with schools. We connect via Linked In.
We have been to two conferences which have been excellent for networking. We are using part-time support to expand our outreach and target ICPs
