Associations can reach a broader and more diverse audience and learners have greater flexibility in where and when they learn. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>But this increased accessibility also introduces new challenges for associations&#8217; non-dues revenue portfolios.<\/p>\n<p>As more industry providers offer free webinars and educational content, association learners have a multitude of choices for their professional development. As a result, associations must find new ways to keep their non-dues revenue streams viable and relevant.<\/p>\n<p>Learning cohorts could be the answer according to Celisa Steele and Jeff Cobb, Co-Founders of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tagoras.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-feathr-click-track=\"true\" data-feathr-link-aids=\"[&quot;63090b04aad61eb28d5eeb9e&quot;],63090b04aad61eb28d5eeb9e\">Tagoras<\/a> learning consultancy.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Cohort-based learning involves a group of people learning together and it&#8217;s usually for a set period of time,&#8221; Steele says. &#8220;Members of the group can support each other and provide accountability.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>That support and accountability is vital to material retention and course completion &#8211; studies show that cohort learners experience as high as a <a href=\"https:\/\/learnopoly.com\/cohort-based-learning-statistics\/\" data-feathr-click-track=\"true\" data-feathr-link-aids=\"[&quot;63090b04aad61eb28d5eeb9e&quot;],63090b04aad61eb28d5eeb9e\">90% course completion rate<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Cohort learning can take on various forms, but Steele says one effective method involves developing a series of webinars focused on a specific topic. These webinars are made available to a limited number of participants who attend each session together. In addition to learning material, learners form a supportive social network with one another.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s extra value from the experience of learning with others and getting to share your experience and questions and hearing what others have to say,&#8221; Steele says.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aaha.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-feathr-click-track=\"true\" data-feathr-link-aids=\"[&quot;63090b04aad61eb28d5eeb9e&quot;],63090b04aad61eb28d5eeb9e\">The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA)<\/a> is one association that is experiencing success with cohort learning. The association is responsible for accrediting companion animal veterinary hospitals &#8211;\u00a0a one-on-one process for 90 years. It began offering accreditation in a cohort-based\u00a0learning format last year by turning AAHA&#8217;s Standards into a curriculum. According to AAHA&#8217;s Chief Value Officer Keith Chamberlain,\u00a0these cohorts are\u00a0full of participants through March 2024.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re finding it&#8217;s\u00a0creating\u00a0communities in a virtual environment,&#8221; Chamberlain says. &#8220;It&#8217;s helping to build networks\u00a0across a very diverse\u00a0veterinarian community.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When considering pricing for cohort learning or any educational product, Cobb says associations must ensure the value reflects the financial investment of the learner.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;There should be a fundamental relationship between price and value when it comes to really selling just about any product or service,&#8221; Cobb says.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Cohort learning stands out as a solution to not only generate non-dues revenue but also deliver value and a sense of community to association members.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/mypar.org\/product\/create-revenue-producing-learning-opportunities-beyond-virtual-webinars\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mypar.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/Feedback-Tagoras-PAR-Workshop.png\" alt=\"Feedback - Tagoras PAR Workshop\" height=\"1200\" width=\"2000\" title=\"Feedback - Tagoras PAR Workshop\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t<p><strong>Watch the Virtual Workshop<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Learn more about how your association can create value and non-dues revenue opportunities from educational offerings.<\/p>\n<p>The workshop recording is available to all PAR members.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The evolution of online learning has transformed the educational landscape, expanding opportunities for both associations and learners.
