Three common use cases: Before, during, and after a course 

Here are three common scenarios of using Mimeo Digital and Arlo together, demonstrating how you can deliver content seamlessly before, during, and after a course to create modern, engaging, and blended learning experiences for your students.

1. Pre-course materials

Make sure your students are prepared by automatically sending them an introduction video as part of the registration workflow. Simply load the video in Mimeo, create access keys for students, and add them to your Arlo automated email sequences. With Mimeo Digital you can control who can access your content, and for how long, as well as seeing who opens and engages with the content. 

2. Engaging workbook experience

Give your students access to your course workbook and ensure they are always looking at the latest version. This is great for interactive and multi-session courses where the instructor updates the workbook as the course progresses. Students can also add notes, comments and annotations in real-time to increase engagement and peer learning. Everyone has their own login, helping you better manage access and monitor interactions. 

To set this up, simply schedule an automated email before the course starts that includes a link to the workbook along with any other additional instructions.

3. Resources for knowledge reinforcement

After the course is completed, send your class the key takeaways and/or guide that they can use to apply their learnings in the real world/outside of the classroom. 

With Arlo providing a full list of course attendees, it’s simple to select a list and send a one off follow-up email that will include key takeaways, and next steps for your students. Your content will be protected with built-in copyright coloring and branding that automatically applies when you make it available.

Bonus: Powerful insights into your classroom and content performance 

Once your course has completed, jump into Mimeo Digital and get an entire breakdown of content activity. See what content had the most views, opens or clicks by individual student, providing a comprehensive view into engagement and student performance, aiding you to make calculated improvements to the material you provide.
