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.

Navigating the Midterm Review in WASC Accreditation

The Challenge of Midterm Accreditation Reports School accreditation is a challenging, important process that requires ongoing documentation and reflection. One crucial component of this journey is the midterm review, which takes place three years after a school's Action Plan has been put into place. During this phase, schools assess their progress toward goals that were agreed upon at the start of the accreditation cycle. Unlike the initial accreditation, which involves input from a broad array of stakeholders and an in-depth, often 100-page Self-Study, the midterm review is a streamlined progress update.  Yet, it brings its own unique challenges: Scope and Content: Schools often struggle with knowing how much to report. The midterm report isn’t about re-evaluating goals but documenting progress and lessons learned. How detailed should this report be, and how should evidence from the past three years be gathered? Resource Use and Time: Schools must decide who to involve in the m...
