2020: The Year of Variety and Personalization for Your Learners

Start off the new year with implementing a personalized learning program, complete with a variety of educational opportunities for your members.

Contrary to popular belief: One size does not always fit all. At some point, people want variety – they crave it. This can be said for pretty much everything in life, including what foods you eat, what clothes you wear and even the ways in which people learn. So why not kick off 2020 by adding some new and personalized learning options for your members?

In the Member Education and Career Development Report by Community Brands, we were able to gather a lot of information about how members crave variety in their learning. Most associations are offering their members multiple in-person learning experiences, including a large annual meeting each year. Some have also started offering online learning options through a robust learning management system (LMS). Regardless of what stage you are at in your learning program, variety is key. But where do you start? Here are some of the most popular learning options members crave from their association:

The Year of Variety and Personalization for Your Learners

With so many options out there, it’s hard to get started. What is important to note is that offering all of one type or another type of learning may be shutting out some of your members. For example, only offering in-person learning opportunities could decrease the reach of your event. It could also limit the number of people who might be able to attend due to travel restrictions or time away from work.

Another example would be to only offer online learning options. This is great for those who want to learn on their own time, from any device. However, for those who would like the chance to network with their peers and meet some of their mentors face-to-face, they may not be fully satisfied with just online options.
Giving your members a variety of options also allows for them to design their own learning track. They may want to do short, quick videos on the way to work to maximize their time. The same person also might be interested in attending an in-person course to get to know some of the members and start building their professional network.

What we are getting as is that learning personalization and variety are key to member engagement and value. In order to do so, your LMS needs to be equipped to handle all of this and much more.
