what kind of learning content should i create?
Create the kind of learning you wish existed when you were learning your job. The best Twennie units are practical, specific, and based on real work.
- Best starting point: write what you’ve learned the hard way (mistakes, fixes, better approaches).
- Most valuable content: repeatable methods, checklists, templates, and “how to think” breakdowns.
- Most viewed content: create learning that stands out from the rest because it presents a new or controversial perspective.
- Strong signal: if you’ve explained it to a colleague more than once, it probably belongs on Twennie.
what kind of learning content can i create on Twennie?
Twennie learning is delivered through unit types that match different learning styles and time budgets.

- interviews: capture expertise from veterans, specialists, and clients.
- prompt sets: 20-step micro-learning that drives action over time.
- exercises: guided practice inside Twennie - if you've found an innovative way to herd cats, it belongs on Twennie .
- templates: reusable documents, scripts, checklists, or frameworks.
- missions: packaged work + outcomes that leaders can assign when the workload is light or for internal projects.
- upcoming units: announce what you’re building next and track progress - create anticipation.

why would i post learning content on Twennie?
Twennie is designed for professionals who learn by doing — and by teaching. Contributing learning content helps you clarify your thinking, strengthen your skills, and contribute to a shared knowledge system that grows with your career.
- learn twice: teaching forces clarity and deepens your own understanding.
- build reusable knowledge: stop explaining the same thing repeatedly — create and assign a Twennie unit instead.
- support your team: give colleagues practical guidance they can revisit anytime.
- create organizational memory: capture methods and lessons so they don’t walk out the door.
- signal leadership: sharing how you think can be more valuable than sharing what you know.
- reach potential buyers of your services: by teaching on Twennie, service providers and independent consultants can promote their services directly to buyers - engineers themselves.
- foster a culture of learning: learning culture means learning is happening all the time, making your team better.
how do i create content that fits in Twennie units?
Twennie does not use courses, quizzes, or tests. Units are small, useful, and easy to assign, then apply to work life.
- pick a few outcomes: what should the learner do differently after this?
- aim for 5–20 minutes: one unit = one learning session.
- choose a unit type: what you want to teach and how best to teach it will help you choose an appropriate unit type.
- write like a guide: clear steps, examples, and “watch-outs.”
- connect to a topic: choose the closest Twennie topic so others can find it.
- suggest a topic: use the suggest a topic form in your dashboard.
where will my content show on Twennie — and who can see it?
You set visibility when you create a unit. Twennie shows your unit under its topic, but only to the audience you approved.
- my library units: you always see your own content in your dashboard workspace, under the tab, my library units.
- group only: visible to members in your group, for learning you want to keep for your team - choose this option when you upload to the library.
- organization: visible to members in your organization, for learning you want to share company-wide - choose this options when you upload to the library.
- twennie community: visible to all Twennie members, for learning that supports your industries and professions - choose this option when you upload to the library.
- leaders can assign: if visible to a leader’s scope, they can assign and track completion.
- rule of thumb: Twennie is for learning, not secure information storage - anything highly sensitive should not be posted. See our terms and conditions.
can i write about any topic i want?
Mostly yes — but content must fit Twennie’s purpose: professional learning that improves work performance.
- good fit: methods, tools, mindsets, examples, templates, coaching guidance.
- not a fit: confidential client information, private employee issues, or anything that breaks trust.
- best practice: anonymize real stories and focus on the lesson, not the intimate details.
can individual members post learning content?
Yes — as long as they have an active membership that includes contribution. Leaders, group members, paid individuals, and contributors can create units.
- any paid members: can publish to their allowed visibility scope.
- service providers and independent consultants: reach potential buyers of your services by teaching on Twennie.
- leaders: can publish and assign learning to their group.
how long does my content stay on Twennie?
Your content stays in your library until you remove it. Twennie is designed to be a living knowledge system.
- you control it: edit, update, or remove your units anytime.
- staying useful matters: update older units when practices change.
- nuggets are freshness-based: they’re meant to be updated as intel changes.
