ELE spent the summer benchmarking for seven consecutive weeks series discussing how different companies have implemented cohort-based learning solutions. We are interested in exploring if an emerging next practice is semi-synchronous collaborative peer learning. When designing cohort learning to scale, learning solutions can be instructorless and easier to scale when well thought out and done right. During each session, we explored why these eight principles are creating successful cohort-based learning at scale:
- Well-designed social interactions
- A sense of safety and belonging
- Real people engaging authentically
- Opportunities for individual reflection
- Knowledge sharing and peer facilitation
- Arguing (constructively) together
- Learners, not instructors, at the center
- Human stories expertly told
