We help experts and organizations create mastery, skill based online courses and remote active learning programs so their knowledge can help impact thousands of people.
Get Started
You’re an expert in your field, but you don’t know how to educate others about your knowledge in the age of the internet. Not to worry. We help turn your decades of experience into easily digestible, actionable lessons for others to understand and implement.
You're a business or non-profit with a mission to solve problems and better people’s lives. Through your work you have gained expertise about the problem and solution. Now you want to share that knowledge with others. We can help you create the next wave of change makers.
You’re an educator or startup who is challenging the current paradigms in education. You need help creating innovative programs that truly help people learn. Our experience establishing Plato University gives us profound expertise in every aspect of learning development.
Online courses and curriculum are designed using Plato’s Mastery Based Learning, which emphasizes skills instead of content. Our approach helps learners turn theory into practice, applying skills across numerous contexts. These skills are derived from your expertise and program objectives, then interwoven throughout the course sequences, including lesson plans, activities, and experiential project-based programming.
Online course architecture with lesson plans, projects, and activities
Creation of multimedia assets including graphics, documents, videos, or audio
Support disseminating complex knowledge into easy to understand concepts and skills
Based on decades of cognitive and behavioral research in the science of learning, we design remote learning programs that engage learners in active participation with knowledge and skill application, rather than passive consumption. Learners engage in self directed learning before class, participate in lively activities during class, and gain support with mentors or coaches after.
Empowering self learning outside of class and deep engagement within class
Online classes are constructed using a range of collaborative activities
Dynamic discussion fostered equally between instructors and learners
Using the latest technology ranging from open source learning resources, no code tools, and AI hacks, we will help you build systems tailored to your remote learning programs and deliver a robust learning experience.
Integrate with existing LMS or custom build using Webflow
Develop management systems with easy to us no code tools for delivery
Support learners with additional content using open source resources
Our learner first approach starts with understanding what your learners desire to know. We run surveys, learner interviews, and community research to compile questions to be answered.
We collaborate with you to define learning outcomes and turn this into a cohesive design plan including learning program structure and curriculum architecture.
We help you develop each component of your remote learning program and online courses with assets, learning management systems, and technology for program launch and delivery.
We help launch your programs with ongoing technical, academic, experiential, and operational support, depending on your needs.
Following launch, we help collect feedback from students and measure the impact of your program to provide insight into opportunities for refinement and expansion.

We designed, created, and facilitated a 12 week remote program, leveraging expertise from The Democracy Group (TDG) network and partners, for Generation Z leaders to start podcasts and build an audience strengthening democracy by engaging diverse viewpoints and bridging political divides.

Zoe Weil, co-founder of the Institute for Humane Education, discuss the importance and methodology of Solutionary thinking for solving both personal and global problems. She outlines the Solutionary Framework, emphasizing ethical problem-solving that aims to do the most good and least harm for all beings. The conversation delves into teaching these skills to students to empower them to tackle issues within their own communities and beyond, using critical, systems, strategic, and creative thinking.
In this post, I share what the role of purpose is in education, why it should be included, and how to build purpose into your courses.
In this post, I share what Mastery Based Learning is, why it's more effective than traditional learning, and how you can implement it into an online course.
"Brandon is really great at handling both the high level details and ideation of a new learning idea, and also the very granular details of how a [learning] session should go."
- Jenna Spinelle, Founder of The Democracy Group
"Brandon makes these wonderful videos that are incredibly easy to understand, takes complex information and puts them in a streamlined way that even I can understand it."
- Liz Joyner, Founder of The Village Square
"Coming into the Plato community gave me the accountability, made what I wanted to accomplish completely achievable, and also it was just completely fun."
- Chase Morris, Learner at Plato University
Holy cow. Brandon is the real deal. I've taken many many courses on many platforms from others, and I will have to say, when I took his Podcast Course, it was one of the best courses, material, and set up I have ever seen. No fluff, no wasting your time, actionable reachable SMART steps necessary to help you learn the skill and succeed. We need more people with the skills Brandon has!
"Coming into the Plato community gave me the accountability, made what I wanted to accomplish completely achievable, and also it was just completely fun."
"I am not a techy person so was unsure of what was to come. Help was there and Brandon literally thought of everything. I loved how the program was broken down into manageable chunks. With patience and knowledge, Brandon guided us to come up with WHY of doing our unique podcast. We had a meaningful focus as we built each part. I am grateful for the experience and support that I received and would highly recommend working with Brandon Stover. You will receive more than you expect and be equipped to build your podcast and bring your voice to the world."
"I loved Brandon's approach, his teaching style, and his support structure that enables you to launch your podcast (and be able to monetize it) in 60 days. The program takes you from the very beginning stages through the journey to monetization. I was able to launch my podcast in less than 6 months and leveraged the material over and over again while writing, hosting, producing 50 podcast episodes of my 1st podcast. His material was top-notch and reusable. I can't wait to launch my 2nd podcast!"
"I came to Brandon through his course on how to start your own podcast. Brandon's episodes stood out to me by how well organized they were. His ideas are clearly articulated and he breaks down exactly how to understand your target audience. Brandon is smart, approachable, friendly, and helpful. Highly recommend!"
