Session Focus: Creating Collaborative Cohort-based Learning Case Study
In this insightful session, learning experts shared valuable strategies for designing effective cohort-based learning experiences that foster collaboration and drive real business impact.
Key Takeaways:
- Design cohort learning experiences around real organizational problems and challenges that are motivating and meaningful to learners. As Sam Herring noted, "We are utilizing a collaborative problem solving process...we're also thinking that we may pull the employees in the very beginning in terms of where they struggle in terms of collaboration...I'm leaning more towards hey bring your collaborative issue and that's what's going to be your project."
- Incorporate social and collaborative elements like group projects, peer discussions, mentors, and opportunities for learners to share knowledge. Leveraging the cohort model catalyzes connectivity and engagement.
- Use assessments upfront to understand learner motivations, skills, and needs in order to personalize the experience through self-study options, live sessions, and long-term learning journeys spanning 2-3 years.
The true power of cohort learning lies in its ability to immerse learners in a supportive environment where they collaboratively tackle real workplace challenges. By co-creating solutions to issues they face, learners deepen expertise while building vital skills like problem-solving, collaboration, and knowledge-sharing.
Thoughtful design centered on business priorities, learner needs, social learning, and continuous journeys unlocks cohort learning's potential to be a transformative force for organizations. Don't miss your chance to gain valuable insights into this highly effective approach.
