In this video, I take a closer look at Uscreen, a platform that offers the ability to create a branded, paid membership site and app, almost like a personal Netflix.

The distinguishing feature of Uscreen is its catalog-like layout of videos, similar to MasterClass or Netflix. This encourages subscribers to explore and binge-watch content, which is in tune with the trends around micro-learning and learning clusters.
Uscreen helps you create native apps for Apple, Android, and Roku devices. This isn't just about giving users a better viewing experience, but also about providing offline viewing capabilities and promoting a sense of community. One case study worth examining is Justin Rhodes' Abundance+, a membership site on homesteading that leverages native apps.
As with all platforms, Uscreen is not perfect for all use cases. If the goal is to teach a distinct skill with a clear progression, a traditional course structure might be more effective. Uscreen's strengths lie in supporting continuous, visually engaging content that encourages exploration in your spare time.
A significant aspect of Uscreen's platform is its focus on community building. It includes features like personal profiles, commenting, and direct interaction with creators, which can enhance the learning experience. Yet, Uscreen's approach appears less about traditional teaching methods and features, and more about fostering connections within a controlled space.
