Dripping your micro-learning content to your learners easily transform the content you have into an educational program. Prevent overwhelming your learners, increase their engagement and knowledge retention by granting access to different collections or mini-courses periodically.
šLearnersā Access settings work collection based, therefore dripping content has to be collection-based. If you would like to drip single mini-courses, make sure that the mini-courses you drip are the only mini-course in their collection.
Setting up Connections #
Suppose that:
- You have two collections named Collection A and Collection B.
- You want your learners to gain access to Collection B one week later than they gain access to Collection A.
Hereās how to set this up:
First, you’ll need the enable access to specific learners feature turned on for both of your collections. This feature helps you to restrict the access exclusively to learners in your learner group and informs learners by sending them an invitation email when they are granted access.
š” Check here for further information on this Learnersā Access setting and awesome features such as customizing your invitation email.
Then, using Zapier or Make integrations, you need to create an automation as follows:
First step of your automation should be Mini Course Generator triggering the automation when a new learner is added to Collection A.
Second step of your automation should be a delay waiting for 7 days before the next step.
š¹You can skip this step to instantly grant access to Collection B when Collection A is completed.
Third step of your automation should be adding a new learner to Collection B.
Make sure to:
-
- choose āTrueā for sending email to user
- collect email address and name data from Mini Course Generator
so that your learner receives invitation email for Collection B and the automation works properly.
š Invitation emails are for verification purposes only. The magic link included in the invitation email verifies the learnerās email address when clicked on and expires, therefore only allows access to the collection once. For your learners that wonāt be able to complete the content in one sitting, or would like to revisit your content later on, make sure to share your content with your learners. For example, you can customize the invitation email to include the share link to your content in the email body.
Another use-case would be, suppose that you’re a life-coach, and you use a Discord server for your community. Or, you manage an Instagram account. With such use-cases, pinning the share link somewhere learners can access easily again and again, along with an announcement such as “access to new content” would be useful.
Great! Now your learners will be amazed on how organized and deep-thought your training is! You can adapt the automation to your needs and add as many steps as youād like. Your micro-learning content really be drippinā after this. š
