Created by: PracticalGrowth Learning
Last updated December 2025
Our take
Based on the ratings of 55,765 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in December 2025. No course pays to be reviewed.
This is a short introduction to workplace collaboration from PracticalGrowth Learning, a studio that makes business courses. It runs 48 minutes across 17 lectures and five sections, with five articles alongside the videos. The three main sections cover being part of a collaborative team, leading one, and making collaboration work across a company, at about 12 to 13 minutes each. The audience list is broad, from employees to executives, and nothing is required to start. More than 135,000 students have enrolled.
Most of the feedback is friendly. Of 55,765 ratings, 25,885 are five stars and 21,786 are four. Reviewers call the modules short, focused and easy to follow, and one likes the notes at the end of each section for reference. One says it matches their daily work and gave them ideas for dealing with teammates. The complaints are consistent. Two reviewers find the ideas well known, with little that's new. Another wanted more how-to for team members, not only leaders. A fourth said the videos kept crashing and the course took twice as long.
The course was refreshed in December 2025, and the subject doesn't date quickly anyway. The description promises meetings, online collaboration and lessons from other industries, but the section list is thinner than that, so expect an overview rather than a toolkit. We'd recommend it as a quick refresher or a way to get a new team on the same page. Experienced managers will probably find it familiar, and for them the low-star reviews are a fair warning.
Pros
- Short modules that reviewers call focused and easy to keep up with
- Notes at the end of each section give you something to refer back to
- Speaks to team members and leaders in a single 48 minute sitting
- One reviewer says it matches daily work and gave ideas for dealing with teammates
Cons
- Two reviewers find the ideas familiar, with little that is new
- Advice leans toward leaders; one reviewer wanted more how-to for team members
- One reviewer reported videos crashing, which doubled the time it took them
Informative, succinct, well-delivered, good material worth your time and investment
Listed for all levels with no prerequisites. Low-star reviewers found the ideas too familiar, so expect a basic treatment.

Course Description
Did you know that nearly 75% of employers rate teamwork and collaboration as one of their most important activities, yet only 18% of employees get communication evaluations during their performance reviews?
If you can believe that, then you won’t be surprised to learn that:
39% of employees don’t believe their organization collaborates enough
86% of employees and executives cite lack of collaboration and ineffective communication for most workplace failures
Less than half of employees believe their organization communicates truthfully and effectively
73% of employees believe their organization would be more successful if they were able to work in more flexible and collaborative ways
Eye-opening statistics, don’t you think?
So the question then becomes …
What are you doing to support, encourage, and develop a collaborative environment within your organization?
Because, let’s face it … if your organization isn’t collaborating effectively, you’re missing out on one of the most important factors of high-performing teams and business success … and potentially hurting your business.
At the individual level, effective collaboration can:
Improve and speed up work
Teach new skills and techniques
Strengthen business understanding
Develop interpersonal skills
Provide additional safety and support
At the organizational level, it can:
Shorten development time
Lower costs
Improve scalability
Increase trust across the business
Create more flexibility as the business grows
Simply put, collaboration is not something your business can choose to ignore.
So how exactly can you make sure your business and all of its employees are collaborating effectively?
Well, that’s exactly what we’re going to cover in this course.
We’ll cover:
The benefits of collaboration and why it’s an essential part of how businesses get work done today
How to ensure collaborative teams work successfully within a company
The fundamentals of forming and leading a collaborative team
How to organize and get the most out of collaborative meetings
Online collaboration and how to effectively collaborate across different teams
Collaboration lessons you can apply from different industries
What you need to create and support a thriving culture of collaboration

this course has been a very meaningful and valuable experience for me, and I can truly say it was an excellent match for my learning needs and personal growth goals.
By Fiona Mason on 4/29/2026
Good for a high-level look at what work collaboration is and should look like but a bit more HOW and tips for employees and team members instead of only leaders would be useful.
By Anonymized User on 4/21/2026
I really liked how he said over coming diffrences work together for the best results it does not mean neccassarily that your own results are the best results.

Basics were covered thoroughly, however each and every point can be explained in detail. Industry scenarios could have been explained better.
By Renata Cunha on 3/30/2026
Minha experiência no curso tem sido excelente e, honestamente, superou o que eu esperava inicialmente. Eu buscava apenas o conhecimento técnico básico, mas acabei encontrando uma abordagem muito mais prática e profunda.
By Paul Williamson on 3/27/2026
The content refreshing for me the benefits of collaboration. The informaiton also challenges my natural inclination to work independently.
By Santosh Nawani on 3/14/2026
My personal experience. that when cross-functional teams come together, collaborate closely, and build genuine trust with one another, it truly sets the stage for company growth. Working side by side with different teams, sharing insights, and supporting each other not only strengthens our projects but also helps drive the entire organization forward. Let's continue to nurture this spirit of collaboration and trust in everything we do—it makes all the difference!
