Next challenge: learning paths
We launched the Renzo Gracie Online Academy (RGOA) last November, after a couple of months of planning and developing.
Most well-executed tech projects nowadays follow a pattern of launching, measuring, improving, for a few different reasons.
The first is that the time we spend developing is a time you’re not distributing (i.e not generating any revenue).
But mainly because we need to understand the user behavior and not trying to predict it.
Of course, we have a vision of what the product is, but we try not to be too strict because we are building for the community as a whole, and not for ourselves.
Plus, we were filming and organizing programs and classes, so that a few months from the launch we have already hundreds of videos available, and dozens of programs covering different aspects of Jiu-Jitsu.
One of the main RGOA value propositions is to bring a variety of instructors carrying a variety of styles so that our students don’t get locked in one single person’s knowledge.
Now the Renzo Gracie Online Academy education platform looks consistent and useful, and it’s not by chance that the feedback is been overwhelming.
The student can currently look for a topic among many and master it, or search for his favorite instructor and watch all his classes.
It’s time to reach the next level.
Now the idea is to design and suggest learning paths using the vast amount of material we are adding, and therefore guide the student in a coherent path, so he can feel and test his improvement.
We are excited to work and deploy the new features as fast as possible and stick with the goal of providing the best possible experience for someone who desires to supplement his Jiu-Jitsu skills online.
