Next MemberWise Webcast: A Clear Path to Member Engagement: Why Creating an Effortless Learning Journey is Key to Association Growth (with D2L). Tuesday 24th September, 11am While professional development should challenge your members, accessing that content shouldn’t. Disjointed, complicated and confusing systems create a frustrating user experience for members and causes an administrative headache for your organisation – which all too often results in failure to engage with learning before courses have even started. Whereas positive learner journeys are proven to increase member engagement and retention; and provide revenue-generating opportunities for many associations. Join Seán Goucher, Technology Enhanced Learning Manager, Royal College of Physicians of Ireland – and Sasha El-Halwani, from D2L – as they discuss the positive impact a smooth learner journey has had, both for the organisation and on the medical profession in Ireland. Learning objectives: 💡 Why user experience is “make or break” for members of today 💡 How and why RCPI have prioritised their learners journeys, and how they’re taking this even further next year 💡 The impact of effective integration on membership organisations’ internal teams 💡 How thought-provoking, interactive and flexible courses – which are tailored to where members are at in their careers – increase member engagement and retention For more information and to register: https://lnkd.in/ey8qTws2
