A Featured Customer: Biobitesize -
The featured customer showcase this month is Bitesize Bio - an online community that connects bioscientists together to share experience as well as wisdom and insights. Bitesize Bio's goal is to promote better science through enhancing scientists' technical skills, scientific fundamentals, personal development and wellbeing career opportunities, as well as financing.
Bitesize Bio support their mission through empowering their members to communicate tips, suggestions practice, experience, education, knowledge, and insights from scientists around the world. The information is shared in the form of informative 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 concrete for the scientists in their network.
The Home Page
Right away on the homepage of Bitesize Bio the courses are listed in the upper right-hand corner of the homepage. The advertisement entices users to enroll by revealing the advantages of the course. With a promise to improve on a skill which is essential for many scientists and academics It's difficult not to click the enroll button!
In addition to their course banner, there are dozens of stories, podcasts, and other materials that are accessible to anyone who is curious about their offerings. The abundance of resources on the homepage entice the user to find out what courses they offer as they present the website as an authoritative source for information.
In Action
Course access settings permit you to set some criteria to determine how a user gains and retains access to your course. It is possible to set your course to be completely free, without registration, with a one-time payment, recurring subscription, and so on.
If you set a course as free, no payment is required, but a user must be registered/logged in to access. The free access option is a good choice if you want to manually enroll participants in the course and capture their emails. If you have an email address that you have, you are able to distribute emails promoting your course offerings in the moment they become accessible.
Focus Mode Keeps Learners Engaged
When you activate Focus Mode, your main navigational and footer elements will be taken off the page. The course navigation remains visible on a sidebar tray as well as course progress at the top of the screen. Manage your course by using Next/Previous, Mark Complete, or Back to Course. You are able to still log into your account from the top right corner.
Focus Mode is a fun feature that will keep your students engaged in the coursework, instead of other tabs on their web browsers. In conjunction with the gaming of a progress bar you should see higher engagement and completion rates with Focus mode turned on.

Bitesize Bio has created a active community of experts using the platform, and now you are able to join in too! There are many methods to incorporate it into your site. You can use a free course that is paired to Focus Mode just like Bitesize Bio is doing to encourage open knowledge sharing all while collecting emails and expanding the number of people who visit your site.
