The document proposes ideas to increase activity, growth, and promotion of the Learning Pool Community. It suggests creating a more engaging homepage, welcoming new members, encouraging profile completion and group participation. Members would earn stars for participating, which can be redeemed for rewards. Stars would also be earned for sharing content in the Learning Pool catalogue and modules forum. The goals are to make the community more active and link it closer to the Learning Pool catalogue.
