Ever find yourself thinking, “Kids have it easy these days?”
Then you see something like this 1912, eighth-grade final exam.
Topics include grammar, arithmetic, geography, civics, and more. No multiple choice. No instant feedback. No second tries. Just handwritten answers and one shot at passing.

Take a look and see how you’d do. Then ask yourself: how would I redesign an experience like this for modern learners?
🏆 Challenge of the Week
This week, your e-learning challenge is to turn this eighth-grade exam from Bullitt County Schools into a modern learning experience.
You can keep the vintage look. Or give it a fresh, modern design. You're free to add feedback, scoring, humor, or a story to make it more engaging.
✨ Share Your E-Learning Work
You put in the effort, now make sure your work gets seen:
- Blog it: Post your example in the recap hub and tell us how you tackled the challenge. With the new submission format, you can comment directly on each example. Try leaving helpful feedback on at least three projects this week.
- Share it: Please share your examples on LinkedIn and mention both David & Articulate using the #ElearningChallenge tags so we can help promote your work.
- Discuss it: Feel free to cross-post in the forums to give your work even more visibility.
- Teach it: Consider recording a screencast tutorial to pull back the curtain on your design process or how you built your project.
