Launching Learning Clubs - 8 new clubs on Hyperlink!
Now on Hyperlink: our first batch of Learning Clubs!
Similar to Courses, Clubs are a format for learning with small groups, actively facilitated, on niche topics.
But they're also: more casual, more exploratory, and more peer-driven.
Think: book club, research group, art critique cohort — people creating their own structures to learn together in a focused way.
We're excited to announce our initial batch of eight Clubs, spanning a wide range of topics and formats.
Take a look and consider joining!
Learning Clubs
Open for enrollment: clubs on indie research and planetary studies; clubs exploring museums, media futures, blue humanities; clubs to share art, desserts, rhymes…

Create a Course or Club?
If you'd like to propose either a Course or a Club to run on Hyperlink, we'd love to hear from you.
For a club, just fill out this form, and we'll get back to you:
If you're more interested in doing a course, good news — we've scheduled a new cohort of the Meta Course, our own course creation workshop.
If you have a course idea, please tell us about it here:
We can chat more and invite you to the Meta Course if it seems like a good fit!
This next cohort starts on Sunday, Nov. 1 at 1pm ET, and runs for 5 weeks. It's free, just requires commitment to attend the meetings, and interest in developing a course on Hyperlink.
