545: What is a Cohort-Based Course and is it Right for You?

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We talk a lot about online courses on the Goal Digger Podcast. After all, online courses play a major role in my business and have changed my life completely. We’ve talked about mini-courses, signature courses, how to build, sell, and automate your course… But maybe the structure of the courses we talk about doesn’t quite fit the topic or idea you have. Maybe you need a different kind of online course for what you want to teach. Ever hear of a cohort?</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Cohort-based courses combine live workshops, videos, articles, and projects to create impactful learning experiences. It’s about your students learning from each other and by doing. I am so excited to explore this different kind of online course. Wes Kao helped create the modern cohort-based education movement with Seth Godin. Now she’s taking the category she helped create to the next level with her new startup Maven, the world’s first digital platform for cohort-based courses. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">PRE-ORDER MY FIRST BOOK:</span> <a href="http://jennakutcher.com/book" target="_blank" rel= "noopener"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">jennakutcher.com/book</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">GOAL DIGGER FB COMMUNITY:</span> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/goaldiggerpodcast/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://www.facebook.com/groups/goaldiggerpodcast/</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">GOAL DIGGER INSTAGRAM:</span> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/goaldiggerpodcast/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://www.instagram.com/goaldiggerpodcast/</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">GOAL DIGGER SHOWNOTES:</span> <a href="http://jennakutcherblog.com/wes" target="_blank" rel= "noopener"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">jennakutcherblog.com/wes</span></a></p>
