[...] “Tom Kuhlmann writes about designing e-learning courses using a pull approach vs. a push approach. Ideally, it’d be nice to be able to pull information from any source than just pulling from the content provided. This is kind of BIG P pull and little p pull. You can pull content but you’re still within a course structure that has been pushed to you, there’s a little pull. Unless structure is definitely needed a much more engaging option to traditional push methods of content delivery.” [...]

Too much information is a hinderance to the student. A good balance will keep the student busy enough to study how much they want and learn the information when needed instead of giving a load of material and saying ‘read that’.

Very nice post Tom; with sales training scenarios/case-method works wonderfully. Of note; I’ve had even greater success in easy-to-use help systems (even predicitive EPSS on occassion). Learning at the moment of need is a very hard sell though. So with that said, I wonder how effective using a pull-like course would be in working with clients who actually need a help system, not a course. Great post!

@Matthias: considering the experience of the learner is critical. However, I think this approach would work fine with a new learner. You’re not leaving them to fend for themselves. Instead you do offer “further guidance” in the form of additional resources.

There could be a “tell me more” type link to addtional info. You could introduce an avatar like guide that the person can visit for additional information and guidance.

After having pondered this marvellous article from a school teacher’s perspective for a few days, I guess that the target group and the level of their abilitites may decide upon which approach to take, or rather what to emphasize more in your course design. — Whereas more advanced students that have already aquired some experience in dealing with texts, or sorting the wheat from the chaff, will probably find it more fulfilling to be granted more freedom in chosing their paths to more knowledge, younger and/or less experienced learners may be overtaxed, and feel lost if left to their own devices without further guidance. — Ideally – and although the pull approach sounds so much more interesting, modern and Learning2.0ish, maybe both aspects should somehow be implemented in course designs to provide a balanced and differentiated package that does not leave parts of our target groups in the dark?
