đź‘Ą What Are Peer Pods?
Peer Pods are short, community-driven learning experiences designed to help you build skills alongside others without a big time commitment.
Each Peer Pod runs for three to four weeks. They bring together community members who want to build skills around a shared focus, such as building a portfolio, navigating a new instructional design role, or exploring freelancing foundations.
Think of Peer Pods as lightweight, community-driven spaces to practice, reflect, and learn alongside others. They’re asynchronous, lightly guided, and designed to fit into your schedule.
