Build a Community Around Learning
Courses create structure. Community keeps people coming back. Intuto and Tradewing bring learning, discussion and ongoing participation into one connected experience for your association’s members.
Intuto: Structure for Learning
Courses, pathways, assessments, certifications and CE tracking, backed by a content team that helps you build it. Associations across the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand run their continuing education and non-dues revenue programs on Intuto.
Tradewing: A Home for Connection
A community platform built for associations, where members ask questions, share expertise and stay connected between courses and events through discussion, mentorship and networking.
Together: One Connected Experience
A deep, two-way integration means course activity and community participation reinforce each other, instead of sitting in separate systems with separate logins.
What Is a Learning Community?
A learning community is a connected environment where structured learning and social participation work together, so members can build knowledge, apply it, discuss it, share expertise and keep developing over time.
It is not a course catalog with a discussion board attached, and it is not a forum that occasionally shares educational content. It is a deliberate connection between learning progress and community participation.

Five Things That Define a Learning Community
Structured
Purposeful pathways, resources, assessments and milestones.
Intuto provides the structure: courses, pathways and certifications that members work through with a clear sense of progress.
Social
Members ask questions, exchange experience and learn from each other.
Tradewing gives that exchange a home, so the discussion around a course doesn’t disappear into email.
Persistent
The experience continues between courses, events and formal programs.
Members stay connected to the association and to each other year round, not only at renewal or conference time.
Relevant
Learning connects to roles, professions and real member needs.
Content, pathways and groups follow the specialties and regions your members actually work in.
Measurable
You can see participation, progress and outcomes across the whole journey.
Course completions, credits and community activity in one picture your board can understand.
What this looks like
Continuing Education and CPD Communities
Certification pathways that keep members engaged year round, not just at renewal time. Members work through courses and earn credits in Intuto, then talk through what they are learning with peers in Tradewing.
What this looks like
New Member Onboarding
A structured first few months paired with an active peer community from day one, so new members build knowledge and connections at the same time.
What this looks like
Communities of Practice
Members in the same specialty or region learning from each other between formal programs, with shared resources and discussion that keep the learning going.

Conference Learning That Continues
Turn a single event into a learning and discussion journey that runs all year, with sessions available as on-demand courses and conversations that carry on after everyone goes home.

Your Association Runs on Two Kinds of Infrastructure
Most associations have invested heavily in the first. Few have deliberately built the second. Intuto powers the learning side of engagement infrastructure and, alongside Tradewing, helps you bring both sides of the member experience together.

From my perspective, it was painless for me. Intuto did the work and did a really great job... I talk to a lot of IT teams and sometimes it's like, I don't know what you're talking about.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a learning community?
A learning community is a connected environment where structured learning and social participation work together. Members build knowledge through courses and pathways, then discuss and apply it with peers, and the association can see participation, progress and outcomes across the whole journey.
-
How is a learning community different from a forum or a community platform?
A forum is a place to talk. A learning community connects that conversation to structured learning: pathways, credits and certifications. Members learn, apply, discuss and keep developing, and the association can measure all of it rather than just activity.
-
Do we need both Intuto and Tradewing?
Intuto runs the learning side and Tradewing runs the community side. Each works on its own, and many associations start with one. A learning community is what you get when the two are connected.
-
What does the integration between Intuto and Tradewing do?
Members sign in once, and learning activity and community participation are connected rather than sitting in separate systems. We walk through the detail, and how it applies to your programs, in a demo.
-
Does Tradewing replace our AMS?
No. Tradewing is a community and engagement platform. Your AMS, for example Membes, Novi, Joyn or ACGI, stays the system of record for membership, and Intuto integrates with it so enrolments and member data stay in sync.
-
Can we track CE credits and community participation together?
Yes. Intuto tracks courses, CE and CPD credits and certificates. Connected with Tradewing, you can see learning progress alongside community activity and report on both to your board.
