One of the bigger projects I’ve been working on during my internship at WAO was redesigning and rethinking our learnwith.wearopen.coop platform.

Over the past years, We Are Open worked with a variety of charities and noticed a need for similar kinds of thinky thinky approaches. It was my project to take these bits and pieces and turn them into something a bit more structured.

Today we are launching this project to share it with you. How exciting, especially for me! A lot has happened since I wrote about it the last time. But go have a look for yourself. Soon I will share more detail on how I built some of the things and publish another article.

What is learn with WAO?

This platform is stuffed with courses, resources and other products that members and collaborators of We Are Open Co-op have created.

On the platform you can find:

  • Templates that can be used in workshops or meetings with clients and collagues
  • Email courses you can learn how to facilitate a good online meeting or what it means to work openly (spoiler alert, our list of ideas for new courses is long so stay curious for all the things that will be published soon)
  • The Podcast “Tao of WAO” with its very awesome guests
  • And a list of a lot of the things that WAO’s members have published over the years on the internet

Because of its variety of content it is also for different groups of people. This is for our clients, for facilitators that are looking for an approach to use at their next workshop. It is for learners, people interested in Open Badges or other topics that our members are experts on.

You can support Learn with as well as other We Are Open Co-op products and projects at open-collective.com/weareopen.

If you visit the site and find any bugs or are willing to give us some feedback visit our GitHub repository and submit your thoughts there. This is just the beginning and we will keep on working on developing this platform further!

And lastly I want to say a huge thanks to all the members of WAO for the constant support and co-working time to help me get this project to where it is now.
