Learning is more impactful when it’s communal, and ongoing rituals of coming together help to maintain student engagement, momentum and loyalty. Today, your students can get even more value from Thinkific Communities with Live Events. 

Within your Community, you’ll see Events in the left menu. From here, you can schedule, organize, manage, promote and display synchronous learning activities, including lectures, workshops, Q&A, coaching and more.

Your members will see upcoming events on the Community homepage and within the events page, and from there they can click into any event and mark themselves as interested. 

With everything you need to promote and track your upcoming Live Events, you can start to learn which topics resonate most with your community, and in turn deliver even more value to your members.

We built this with flexibility in mind, so you can use the video conferencing software of choice, and then simply copy-paste the link into your Community to run your live event. 

Communities are a powerful tool for bringing your audience together to connect, share knowledge, answer questions and learn from each other. But a critical part of driving that engagement is ensuring that no matter where they are, your members know what’s going on in your community. 

Today, we’ve launched web-app notifications in your Community, which ensures your members will learn about new and relevant conversations happening in your community, now through email and your site.

Your new Notification Center is now in the header of your Community, and will allow you and your students to quickly see:

• When a member is added to a Community
• When someone @ mentions you or a member in a post
• When someone comments on your or a member’s post
• When someone replies to your or a member’s comment

The learning experience that you create for your audience is more than just your course. We've recently reorganized your Admin Dashboard to allow you to more easily build and manage your other learning products like Communities, Memberships and Bundles, alongside your Courses.

This newly decluttered dashboard is now more intuitive to your workflow, so you can focus on creating a rich, engaging learning experience—all in one place.

Note: These Admin Dashboard Updates are currently only being released to a portion of our customers, so not every creator will see the layout described above; however, you will be able to take all the same actions, regardless of which layout you are seeing.

Remember when you first bought your smartphone? It did everything you really needed it to do, but it didn’t feel like yours until you started installing some of your favourite apps (like, say, your go-to meditation app or… Candy Crush). 

The same goes for your online learning business. 

Thinkific does a TON right out of the box, but the 80+ apps available in the Thinkific App Store help you launch and run a business that feels like it was specifically designed for you and your students.

The result? Happier students. Faster growth. More success. Win-win-win. 😎

A community can be a rewarding, interactive, safe environment in which students can take what they’ve learned in your course and apply it. When done right, Communities can be a powerful hub of activity and engagement that actually enhances your course offering. 

It’s important to create a strong connection between your course and your community so they don’t just feel like separate tasks, but a blended, cohesive learning experience.

Today, your students can seamlessly access your Communities from your course—in just one click. 

The Course & Community Connection allows students to easily navigate from within your course directly to a Space within your Community. 

Once set up, your students will see a card in their Course Player, which they can click to be taken directly to your Community.
