The article critiques traditional e-learning development practices, which often follow a predictable formula of pushing information at learners. This âpushâ method may achieve compliance but fails to foster real engagement or behavior change. Instead, the author advocates for a âpullâ approach that encourages learners to seek information as needed, situating learning within scenarios or challenges that motivate inquiry. By aligning course design more closely with real-world learning behaviors, such as consulting resources when encountering problems, e-learning can promote meaningful skill development and engagement.
With a pull-based design, you provide all necessary content, but change how learners access it, creating scenarios that motivate them to seek solutions.
The factory-like model of e-learning assumes all learners need the same information in the same way, which works for compliance but not for meaningful skill development.
E-learning should not merely push information at learners; instead, it should encourage them to pull information when needed, resembling real-world learning experiences.
Designing e-learning courses around content delivery limits engagement; a pull approach creates environments where learners actively seek information and solve problems.
