The Art and Science of Online Cohort Learning: Building Scalable Programs
Effective learning is rarely event-based. Workshops, webinars and off-site meetings rarely change people’s deeply ingrained habits and behaviors, no matter how much they enjoy the experience. Effective learning is learning that incorporates practicing and applying concepts, working in cohorts and deeply interacting with both peers and ideas over a protracted period of time.
Putting people together in a cohort is a key ingredient for effective learning, but having cohorts alone doesn’t guarantee impact. To fully realize the potential of cohort learning, your program needs to be designed from the ground up to leverage the unique advantages of cohorts and address the ambiguity of learning together in an online course environment.
In this interactive session with Drew Remiker, head of strategic consulting services at NovoEd, and Jacob Nikolau, head of product marketing at NovoEd, you will learn:
- Five things to avoid when designing cohort learning.
- Five practical design strategies to help you build powerful and impactful experiences.
- Examples of how these five strategies have been implemented by NovoEd’s clients and in NovoEd’s internal training programs.
