Take self-paced courses and earn peer-reviewed micro-credentials for your work

Online courses

Engage in virtual training and blended learning experiences through self-paced, cloud-based courses. Our e-learning structure, familiar to a learning management system (LMS), allows you to easily search for courses based on your interests or simply enroll in online learning experiences within the communities you’re a member of. Traditional LMS benefits are accompanied by features unique to Participate; for instance, each course is accompanied with a peer-reviewed micro-credential saved to your profile and easily shared via a micro-credential link.

Deepen your connection with peers

Discussion threads

Long gone are the days of feeling isolated in your job. We’ve designed our discussion forums to be spaces of interaction, further learning and connection. Users within communities can start discussions based on topics you’re looking to learn from one another or that you’re simply interested in, easily connecting professional learners on a given topic. Embed media, tag peers and subscribe to discussions for email updates so that you never miss a beat. Take a look at a discussion thread here to see what's possible.

Peer mentorship

Our communities use a peer-reviewed micro-credential structure to reward achievements made and learning competencies achieved. Users engage with a community peer teacher mentor to learn and grow together throughout an online course. Learn more about this process here.
