One of the most frequent questions I get is how to convert linear, click-and-read courses to something more interactive. Linear courses are often the result of our focus on sharing information and not knowing how to move beyond this.

Most elearning courses I see are info-centric and just push content out. A great way to switch from an info-centric course to one that’s learner-centric is by asking questions.
