Push vs. Pull E-Learning #455: Challenge | Recap
As e-learning designers, we all want to make our courses engaging and interactive. No one sets out to build boring courses. At the same time, it's no secret that a lot of courses fall into the trap of just throwing information at learners.
So, what's the solution? Do you have to create more content? Actually, no—you can simply reframe how you structure your existing content and make it more interactive. It's not rocket science; it just requires a little more pulling than pushing. And that's what this week's challenge is all about.
🏆 Challenge of the Week
This week, your challenge is to share a before-and-after example that shows how push-based courses can be reworked into more pull-based interactions.
For context and more info, check out this blog post from Tom on push vs. pull e-learning.
Keep in mind that you don’t need to build anything overly complex or technical. What’s most important is the concept and showing how static content can be made more interactive using asking or pulling techniques.

Just a quick heads up – if you want your blog, website, or LinkedIn included in our recap posts, could you do me a favor and add or update those links onto your ELH profile sometime this week?
I found some broken links last week when I pulled the recap together. You spend a lot of time building creative examples, and your work deserves all the attention it can get.
