Soccer looks simple from the stands.
Kick the ball. Pass the ball. Score the goal.
But there’s much more to the game than that. From the rules and tactics to the players, history, and unforgettable World Cup moments, soccer gives course designers lots of ways to flex their e-learning design skills.
🏆 Challenge of the Week
This week, your challenge is to create an e-learning example that teaches learners something about soccer.
You can explain a rule, break down a strategy, highlight a favorite player, explore a memorable World Cup moment, or choose any soccer-related topic that gives learners something new to understand.

🚀 Tips for Getting Started
Here are some ways to approach this week’s challenge:
- Start simple: Create a click-and-reveal interaction that explains a basic rule like offside, fouls, yellow cards, or penalty kicks.
- Level up: Build a “What would you do next?” scenario where learners choose the best pass, formation, or defensive response from a frozen game moment.
- Challenge mode: Design a decision simulator where each choice changes the outcome of the play. For example: press high, drop back, switch formation, or attack through the wings.
New to the challenges? Simple mode is a great place to start, and any tool works — Storyline, Rise, PowerPoint, or whatever you want to practice with.
