## Reviews

### "Building Communities of Practice for Educators through Participate" — 5.0/5

> **Jenny** | *21 February 2023* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: This software enables the nonprofit I work for to reach educators in developing countries with the support and content knowledge they need to become more effective in their classrooms. Our members are spread all over the world, but through Participate we can gather them together to learn new teaching strategies and build relationships with each other. We find great value in being able to link workshop videos with discussion boards with "coursework" so that teachers can find many modalities of support.
> 
> **Cons**: In the early days, the functionality was in development, so we had lots of questions. The Participate support was always helpful, though. The platform works great, now\!
> 
> I wholeheartedly recommend Participate as a social learning platform. The team is a pleasure to work with.

> The staff at Participate responds immediately to requests and needs, plus my quarterly check-ins help me to anticipate needs as well as find best ways forward.
