Unlocking New Content Through Community Activity – Worth Considering?
Catherine Eadie
Hi,
I came across something interesting over the weekend that I hadn’t seen before. I joined a group on Skool.com and noticed how they incentivise community engagement. As you participate more in the community, you move up through Levels (starting at Level 1 and going up to Level 9). Right now, I’m on Level 1, but as I continue to engage, reaching Level 2 will unlock new learning for me in their “classroom” area.
What’s clever is that this classroom area has extra content and learning opportunities, some of which you can pay for, so it’s a blend of free and paid access, all linked to your engagement in the community.
Has anyone else seen this kind of approach before? Could a system like this work in Heights, where higher levels of engagement unlock additional content, resources, or opportunities?
Would love to hear your thoughts!

We made some big updates to this with the release of the Heights Community Algorithm and you can read about how the algorithm works here:
We plan to update your creator dashboard soon include which students are in which cohort, as well as show you on individual students if the student is cold, warm, or engaged.
We don't yet show this data to students but if points are added for making community posts, a great way for students to show this off would be if you enable the leaderboards feature (shown at bottom of this page):
The combination of a default with the option to customize sounds great! Thank you for that feedback!
