Version 1.1 - Your Feedback helped shape our site

Many thanks to so many of our colleagues and visionaries who shared feedback with us over the past few weeks to help us improve Huddle Up.

We're thrilled to say we just released version 1.1 and added the following improvements.

Streamline the "Join a Project" process. (It's now a one-click experience)
Adding a customizable rubric so that Project Leaders can foster peer evaluation by editing the criteria and descriptors.
Minimizing text and adding video submissions.
User notifications to alert each participant of incoming feedback or direct messages.
A revised Project Homepage to track progress of the cohort collectively, and strengthen each team member's accountability.
A Sandbox Project is added to each new user's Dashboard allowing exploration of the platform.

We've created two videos to give you a glimpse of our new release for 2022.

Huddle Up: Overview

New Site Navigation Overview

Each newly registered Huddle Up user will be greeted with a personal Dashboard that includes a Huddle Up Sandbox Project. The Sandbox Project allows each user to become familiar with the platform (in the role of a Participant, not a Project Leader). Two of the key videos from the Sandbox Project are included below but the interactive experience can only be shown once you login and participate. Registration is quick and free.

When did collaboration and learning become separated?

I like to talk to people about what systems, structures, and platforms they use to help their teams collaborate, learn, and problem-solve. It doesn't really matter if I'm talking with trainers, consultants, or educators. I usually hear something like this: "We have our (training) courses inside of ( INSERT NAME OF LMS HERE) . And, then we collaborate every week on ( INSERT ZOOM, SLACK, GOOGLE MEET, ETC) " When did we start thinking / saying this? Was this a prevalent phrase pre-pandemic? I don't remember hearing it then. (Perhaps I wasn't listening.) It's certainly a common paradigm now. More importantly, what impact does its arrival have on the way we structure our team's environments? For starters, it brings up a few odd questions. Aren't we naturally better learners when we collaborate? Aren't we better collaborators when we're learning along the way? Don't we do one better when we incorporate the other? When we think of the syst

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.

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 e
