Online learning communities are becoming a big part on how people share knowledge in today’s society. One of these platform leading the way is Skool.com, which helps educators and creators build their own learning communitys. To give ourselves deeper insights into this, we sat down with Laura Moser, that is the content writer and editor-in-chief of DiscoverSkool.com, a resource dedicated to helping people understand and maximize the potential of Skool.com.
The reason for DiscoverSkool’s and Lauras recent success is their in-depth article on How to start a Skool Community.
Laura has been closely following the uptrend of community-driven education and how platforms like Skool fit into the bigger picture of content management, online learning, and the future of education. In this following interview, she is sharing her thoughts on these topics and what’s next for Skool.com.
Q: Laura, Would you like to tell us about DiscoverSkool.com?
Laura Moser: Absolutely! DiscoverSkool.com is a platform where we provide various guides, tutorials, and insight about Skool.com. A lot of different people is hearing about Skool but are not really sure if its a right fit for them. My goal in this is to break down how Skool is working, compare it to other platforms, and help educators and entrepreneurs build successful learning communities online.
I joined DiscoverSkool because I noticed there was a gap – Skool was growing very fast, but there wasn’t a centralized place to learn about it in depth. I wanted to create a hub of resources where people could find everything they needed, whether they are just starting out or looking to optimize their existing Skool community .
Q: Skool is often compared to other Content Management Systems (CMS), but how will it stand out?
Laura Moser: The biggest difference is that Skool isn’t just an ordinary CMS – its an all-in-one community learning platform. Most CMS tools, like WordPress or Kajabi focus on content delivery. Skool on the other hand, is more built around engagement for its users.
With traditional CMS platforms, you typically have a website, a separate forum, and maybe even a third party tool for course management. Skool combines all of these into one single platform. You get forums, gamification, courses, and a membership system all in one place, which makes it much easier to manage a community.
Q: How important is education in the online space today?
Laura Moser: It’s more important now than ever. Traditional education systems don’t always keep up with what the people should need to learn. That’s why so many people are turning to online communities and courses to build real-world skills, used in daily life.
I also think that education needs to be more interactive. Just watching videos is not enough anymore. People learn best when they’re engaging with others, while asking questions, and applying what they learn in real-time. That’s what makes community-based learning platforms so effective, in my opinion.
Q: What are some challenges people face when creating online communities, and how does Skool help?
Laura Moser: One of the biggest challenges is keeping members engaged. A lot of people join online communities but don’t participate and that can make the experience feel a bit empty. Skool does a very good job of solving this by using gamification, where members earn points for interacting. This small feature actually makes a huge difference because people feel motivated to contribute.
Another challenge is regarding technical complexity. Many community platforms require you to piece together different tools—one for discussions, another for courses, another for emails. Skool simplifies everything by keeping it all in one place. It removes a lot of the friction that stops people from launching their communities in the first place.
Q: In what way will AI impacting online learning platforms like Skool in the future?
Laura Moser: AI is already changing education, and I think we are going to see it play a big role in community-driven learning platforms.
That being said, I think human interaction will always be the heart of learning. AI could enhance the experience, but real engagement comes from people helping each other, and that’s something platforms like Skool already is doing really well.
Q: Where do you see Skool.com heading in the future?
Laura Moser: Skool has already made a big impact, but I think it’s just getting started. More people are realizing that community-driven learning is the best way forward.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Skool expands its features even more. Right now, it’s great for communities and courses, but I could see them adding more customization options, better analytics, or even integrations with more other tools.
I think we’re going to see more people moving away from traditional online courses and towards engagement-based learning. Skool is leading those changes for sure, and I’m excited to see where it is going next.
Final Thoughts
After talking with Laura that Skool.com is more than just another course learning platform as its shaping the future of online learning. DiscoverSkool.com is playing a important role in helping educators, creators, and entrepreneurs understand how to use Skool in the best ways.
