Community Assemble is a bi-weekly newsletter about creating and growing communities that add value to both customers and brands the right way. We feature tweets, quotes, blogs, and ideas from our experts and various community leaders across the globe.

Did you attend our discussion with Jenny Weigle last week? In case you missed it, we are releasing the recorded videos this week, so make sure to go access them.

Jenny had an interesting take on the community career roadmap and all the infinite possibilities that the current path has to offer! Come to think of it, I’m glad we’re in this community ecosystem at the right time!
So for all, you community enthusiasts, we will be putting up the video soon, so watch out for our Linkedin and YouTube Space to access the videos!

Now onto our new edition!
This one is super exciting, wait for it!

We have Todd Nilson in conversation with us to pick on the unexplored world of E-learning communities. Todd is a globally known Digital Strategist, Online Community Consultant and Entrepreneur. Over these last 10 years, he has helped dozens of customers to build thriving online communities and digital workplaces. He translates digital strategy into specific and measurable actions for customers.

So sit back and slide through this edition as we understand the revolutionary shift that has been happening with  E-learning communities with the community explorer himself.

In the wide-ranging video interview that you see below, Todd has categorically explained the power of online E-learning communities! We discussed the benefits of having a white-labelled community in the E-learning platform, how Ed-Tech businesses are now leveraging online communities to have a competitive advantage!
Some super cool tips and tricks you can use for your E-learning communities and much more!

1. What is your take on online communities replacing social media platforms for e-learning?

2. What are the main benefits of having a white-labelled community for any E-learning site?

3.  Does having a forum keep your learners engaged?

4. How can online E-learning communities keep engagement and retention high?

5. Should you use Gamification to engage learners and involve them more in your E-learning?

6. What will be the biggest learning shift for students from an online E-learning community?

The best part about E-learning communities is that we empower and equip teachers with technology that will help them automate the boring work and enhance education thereby having a greater impact. Teachers can spend more quality time on what they are here for i.e. teaching instead of constantly worrying about making their classes interesting for students.

SNIPPETS OF THE WEEK:

Andrew Claremont @andymci

If I had to boil community management down to three core responsibilities, it'd be: 1. Facilitate: Bring people together in a safe, supportive environment. 2. Participate: Show up and be helpful. 3. Sustain: Rituals or routines, call it whatever, just keep it going.
