TRL 155: Why Cohort-Based Courses are the Future of Online Education with Wes Kao, Cofounder of Maven
That Remote Life | Interviews with Digital Nomads and Location Independent Entrepreneurs - A podcast by Mitko Karshovski
Categories:
Today on the podcast Mitko is joined by Wes Kao the cofounder of Maven - the first course platform focused specifically on Cohort-Based Courses. Wes came up with the idea of cohort-based courses while she was working with Seth Godin and together they launched the AltMBA which was the first cohort-based course of this kind on the internet. During this conversation you will learn how Wes ended up working with Seth in the first place, the problem with the current generation of Massive-Open-Online-Courses or MOOCs, and how running your courses through a cohort helps boost your revenue, helps improve completion rates, and most importantly helps students implement what they learn.
