Engagement is the key... and how to get it.

We're all about engagement and connections.

And, we happened to come across this article written by the folks at Lambda Solutions that not only speaks to the importance of engagement but also some solid strategies that our Project Leaders can take to ensure they are maximizing engagement.

Specifically, they identify 7 strategies. You can read the full article here.

1. Set Clear, Achievable, and Measurable Learning Objectives
2. Create Interactive Content
3. Use Gamification
4. Individualize Programming
5. Analyze Learner Behaviour
6. Keep Modules Short
7. Use Notifications

While the 7 strategies above all apply to the traditional (passive) online learning models, many of them are equally applicable within the Huddle Up platform as well - and we encourage our Project Leaders to seek out ways to implement them within the interactive cohorts that share ideas and feedback within Huddle Up.

How do we at Huddle Up view engagement?

We agree that there are strategies that can make traditional learning more engaging. But we also believe an equally important factor in engagement happens EARLIER in the process by addressing the following three aspects.

When we get the three questions above answered correctly, the learning is naturally much more engaging. Adding the 7 strategies into this environment is like frosting on the cake! (We like frosting too.)

Looking for ways to make your online experiences more engaging?

We encourage our Project Leaders to consider how they can use Huddle Up's interactive framework to make learning solution-focused and engaging. And, utilize the elements above to strengthen the online experiences you create.

AI & Organizational Learning - a different approach

Consider this post an invitation to engage for every AI expert seeking to transform the way teams and organizations learn. We consider ourselves AI enthusiasts, but not experts - and we are in need of advice and support from those higher up the ladder. These days, organizational learning is a pretty dynamic space. Everyone's abuzz with AI - and for good reason. Every day, it's linking content and context in fantastic new ways. The content has always been there. It's the context piece that makes AI so exciting - and also its biggest challenge. How can we get AI to become ever more intelligent about "our" context? How can AI help generate solutions and feedback that are contextualized to what "we" need? To transform learning with AI, most people are seeking to answer the following question: How can we leverage AI to capture all the relevant data in our learning ecosystem? We're asking a different question. How can we reimagine the learning eco...

The Evolution of Online Learning: Four Stages and What's Next?

(This 2022 post was modified in July 2023.) The pandemic has made everyone far more knowledgeable about online learning platforms than they were 24 months ago. We each know (and feel) the strengths and the limitations of more than a few platforms. We each have a long and growing list of features we want to see in the next evolution of online learning. So, it seems a rather good time to step back and explore the evolution of online learning - to see how far we've come, and where we might be heading. One of the best resources out there is a simple progression chart shared in this intriguing article by Tiago Forte. The Future of Education is Community: The Rise of Cohort-Based Courses The evolution of online learning: What's next? We love big-picture reflections like this. While we are all aware of the current disconnect that still exists between the reality of our online learning platforms and the skills and knowledge we want to transfer to learners, we can all agree that the ...
