Educating your members (or facilitating their education) establishes you as a thought leader and a source of knowledge. Create a continuing education path for your members through online courses delivered under your brand.
Why should member organisations launch an online academy?
An online academy can significantly enhance the value proposition of a membership organisation by providing accessible, high-quality education, fostering member engagement, and supporting professional development within the industry or field it serves.
Enhancing Member Value
An online academy offers members additional educational resources and learning opportunities, increasing the overall value they receive from the organisation. Members can access a wide range of courses, webinars, and training materials conveniently from anywhere, at any time.
Professional Development
Online academies enable members to enhance their skills, knowledge, and competencies in their respective fields. By providing relevant and up-to-date educational content, membership organisations can help members stay abreast of industry trends, best practices, and advancements.
Networking and Collaboration
An online academy can serve as a platform for members to connect, interact, and collaborate with fellow professionals in their field. It can include discussion forums, virtual classrooms, and networking opportunities, fostering community and enabling knowledge sharing among members.
Revenue Generation
Membership organisations can monetise their online academies by offering courses or training programs to non-members. Diversifying revenue streams can help sustain the organisation’s operations and fund additional member benefits and services.
Accessible Learning
Online academies provide flexibility and accessibility to members, as they can learn at their own pace and convenience. Members can choose from various formats, such as videos, interactive modules, quizzes, and downloadable resources, catering to different learning styles.
Continuous Engagement
By offering an online academy, membership organisations can continuously engage with their members beyond formal events or meetings. Regularly updated content and new course offerings encourage members to stay involved with the organisation and remain active participants.
Thought Leadership
An online academy allows member organisations to position themselves as thought leaders in their respective industries. The organisation can establish its authority and credibility by curating high-quality educational content and featuring expert instructors, attracting both members and external audiences.
Member Retention and Acquisition
Providing an online academy can be a valuable tool for member retention, as it offers ongoing educational benefits that members find helpful. Additionally, the availability of an online academy can be an attractive feature for potential members, increasing the organisation’s appeal and supporting acquisition efforts.
