Fast, admin-free coaching and cohort-based learning with MyTeams

Managers, trainers and team leaders need simple, yet powerful tools to guide their teams without getting lost in spreadsheets and manual tracking.

That's where MyTeams comes in – a game-changing feature from 5app that enables seamless job coaching, cohort-based learning and instructor-led training – without admin involvement.

With MyTeams, leaders can track learning progress in real-time, understand engagement trends and create private Team Playlists – all within the 5app platform. Everything is intuitive, simple and designed for speed so managers can focus on what matters most: enabling their teams to succeed. 

In this blog, we explore MyTeams in depth, as well as how it can transform the learning experience for trainers and team managers.

Instructor-led training for a learning cohort

Imagine you're leading a cohort-based learning programme for a group of employees. As a trainer, you need a way to monitor engagement, track content consumption and effectively support learners without relying on admin support – step up, MyTeams!

- Real-time analytics – Instantly see who engages with the learning material over 7- and 30-day periods to identify learners needing extra support.  

- Trend insights – Understand learning patterns to refine your training strategy, spot gaps in content consumption and refine your content (type, length, distribution time) to what works best with your audience

- Real-time reporting – Download detailed progress reports to assess the performance and consumption habits of your team.

- Social learning features – Encourage discussion and peer support through comments, sharing and interactive feedback within the platform.  

- Private Playlists – Trainers can establish Team Playlists - a private area that only a specific cohort can access. Here, the trainer can share personalised updates and the learner can upload their own content that won't be accessible by learners outside of the cohort.

Example: A leadership training cohort is assigned a playlist of learning resources. The trainer uses MyTeams analytics to identify participants who have yet to engage and sends a gentle nudge. Instructors also review learner-generated reflections in a private Team Playlist, where trainees upload their takeaways from key modules. This supports social learning and enhances knowledge retention – all without extra admin work. 

Creating private learning spaces

For team managers and leaders, learning isn't just about formal training. It's also about continuous development, coaching, and knowledge sharing tailored to each team's unique needs. And it needs to happen fast, without unnecessary complexity.

With MyTeams, managers can create private Team Playlists, offering a secure space for learning materials and user-generated content – all natively within the 5app platform. Here's how MyTeams Helps:

- Private Team Playlists – Managers create exclusive learning spaces where only selected team members can view or upload content – no complicated permissions required.  

- Content sharing: Employees contribute insights, case studies or reflections, making learning more interactive and personal.  

- Performance tracking – Managers download progress reports to assess skill development and provide personalised coaching instantly.  

- Commenting and collaboration – Encourage discussion and knowledge sharing directly within the platform, keeping everything in one place.  

And its not just upskilling programmes that MyTeams can support. MyTeams also comes in handy with employee onboarding, mandatory compliance training and role-specific courses. Any content assigned to your team can be monitored by the manager.

Example: A sales manager wants to upskill their team for a new product launch. They create a private Team Playlist, adding key resources and video tutorials. Team members upload their own practice pitches for peer and manager feedback. With instant tracking and no need for external tools, MyTeams makes it easy to track engagement and tailor coaching accordingly.  

Supercharge MyTeams with AI-powered learning: VeeCoach
