Featured Customer: Bitesize Bio -
The Customer Showcase this month is BitesizeBio - a community platform that brings bioscientists together to share experience as well as wisdom and insights. Bitesize Bio's aim is to promote better science by improving scientists' abilities to perform scientific research, their technical expertise, personal development and wellbeing career opportunities, as well as financing.
Bitesize Bio support their mission by giving their users the ability to exchange tips, advice practice, experience, education as well as knowledge and insight from hundreds of scientists worldwide. They provide this information through helpful articles, webinars, podcasts , and even courses created by , of course.
Let's look into the ways that Bitesize Bio uses to make practical knowledge and training information accessible, understandable, and actionable for the scientists in their network.
The Home Page
From the moment you land on Bitesize Bio's home page the courses are advertised at the top of the webpage. The advertisement entices users to enroll by revealing the benefits of the course. It promises to help you improve in a specific skill that is important for many scientists and academics, it's hard to not click the enroll button!
The banners that follow their courses contain many articles, podcast episodes, as well as other resources that are available for anyone interested in them. The abundance of resources that are available on their homepage will entice users to learn the details about their courses and showcase the website as a reliable source of knowledge.
In Action
Course access settings permit you to set some criteria to determine how a user gains and maintains access to your course. You can set a course as open and free that requires registration, only one-time payments, recurring subscriptions, and so on.
In the event that you make a course absolutely free, there is no cost necessary, however, a student is required to sign up or log in for access. The Free access mode is an ideal option if you wish to enroll manually students into the course, and then collect their email addresses. With an email list it is possible to send emails promoting your course offerings in the moment they become available.
Focus Mode keeps students engaged
When you enable Focus Mode, your main footer and navigation elements are taken off the page. Course navigation is always visible on a sidebar tray and course progress is displayed on the upper left-hand side of the screen. You can control the flow of the course by using Next/Previous, Mark Complete, or Back to Course. It is also possible to access your account from the top right corner.
Focus Mode is an exciting feature that helps keep students focused on the course, instead of other tabs on their computer. In conjunction with the gaming of a progress bar, you should see higher levels of engagement and less time spent on the course with Focus mode turned on.
Do More
Bitesize Bio has created a lively community of information Bitesize Bio, and you too can join! There are many ways you can use it on your site. There is a cost-free training course, paired with Focus Mode just like Bitesize Bio has done to promote the sharing of knowledge and openness while increasing the number of emails you receive and the number of people who visit your site.
