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.

These upgraded site themes provide a simpler and more straightforward experience to help you build out one of your most important marketing assets as a Creator – your course page. This update also improves upon the themes with enhanced page sections, re-designed product cards, and additional site customizations.

As of today, Communities have moved from Support Your Students and now live under Manage Learning Content in the Admin Dashboard.

Communities are an important part of the unique learning experience that you create for your students, and can be a powerful hub of activity and engagement alongside your course offering.

Your security is our top priority, and today we’ve further enhanced how we protect your Thinkific course and site. You can now add an additional layer of security in protecting your course site by implementing Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) for site owners and admins. 

By requiring an additional step to log in, you can reduce the risk of unauthorized access to your Thinkific site. This helps protect your intellectual property, site user information, payment collection methods and other data across your site. 

In this opt-in, two-step process, you will need to sign in to Thinkific using your email and password, and will then be prompted to provide a time-limited password through an authenticator app from a secondary, trusted device, like your mobile phone for example.

Using an authenticator app adds an extra layer of protection from common attacks, and there are a number of great options to choose from, including Google Authenticator, Duo Mobile and Authy. This can be easily downloaded from the App Store on your mobile, or other trusted device.
