Equip your organization for sustained success through engaging, equitable learning spaces.

A customizable space for collaboration and growth

Online courses

Create virtual training and blended learning experiences through self-paced online courses. Our e-learning structure allows you to create courses from scratch or using existing content. Easily embed media, connect with community members in learning checkpoints and monetize courses with our built-in e-commerce functionality. Each course is accompanied with a peer-reviewed micro-credential saved to a community member’s profile and easily shared via a micro-credential link. Read more about micro-credentials.

Organizations use virtual courses for  organizational upskilling, program management, workforce development, academic initiatives or educating constituents on how to best use your organization’s product or service.

Share updates with whom you want, when you want

Direct messaging

Have a quick question? Directly message members of your community or engage with other users on the Participate platform. Our direct messaging feature allows you to search and connect with users in effective, real-time communication. Use direct messages to welcome members to your community and start building connections that lead to advocates and engaged members from day one.

Community announcements

Long gone are the tedious days of creating segmented email lists. Send announcements to your organization’s community or groups of users within your community on upcoming events, experiences and ways to get involved in your organization. Announcements appear on the community home feed and automatically send emails to community members.

A look into how users interact with your product or offering

Discussion threads

As organizations are adapting to online programming and training, most are merely migrating content to an online setting, somewhat forcing collaboration into a box. To combat this, we’ve designed our discussion threads to be collaborative and easily embedded into learning experiences within your community. Starting a discussion thread takes seconds and can be tied to receiving feedback on a product or initiative, getting to know community members, training courses and topics of interest. Embed media, tag users and subscribe to discussions for email updates so that you never miss a beat.

Formative feedback

For one-on-one feedback and company advocate training, educational organizations leverage the formative feedback feature to learn alongside community members and interact at designated check-points in their community journeys. More than simply a space to request corrections, formative feedback allows community facilitators to engage in deeper dialogue to facilitate learning and push a community member’s understanding and lead to greater impact for your organization.

Organization, simplified

Resource collections

Organize your organization’s educational resources, documents and media in online resource collections. Similar to any online cloud folder, resource collections house all of the links and descriptions you need in one, privacy-safe space. Our resources tab also offers the opportunity to create customized webpages within your community. Collections can be hidden, public or private so that only members of the community or users of your choice can access them. Rather than merely migrating content, re-imagine the ways in which your members access resources from your organization. We offer strategic support around community design so that your organization can thrive.
