Sorting, matching, quizzes, and the module gate stay behind a free account so scored answers are not public. The teaching notes below are the same cited curriculum.
01
Onboarding sprint: Heavy push week 1, pull job aids after, manager checkpoint week 4.
Compliance refresh: Short annual module + on-job checklist audit sample.
Skills sprint: Practice-heavy cohort + pull library; minimal content dumps.
02
Catalog mindset: 500 courses; “take what you want.” · Completion % as success. · No prerequisites.
Pathway mindset: 12-week journey to one role outcome. · Evidence tier 4+ on key actions. · Unlock rules tied to assessment map.

Onboarding is a sprint: heavy push in week one so people can do the job safely, pull job aids after they are on the floor, and a manager checkpoint around week four. A compliance refresh is the opposite shape — a short annual module plus a sample of on-job checklist audits, not a new catalog. A skills sprint is practice-heavy: a cohort, a pull library, and very little content dump. LinkedIn’s 2025 Workplace Learning Report describes career-development champions as 36% of organizations, and 91% of respondents agree continuous learning matters. That is not a license to add courses. Champions invest in a culture of ongoing learning, not in a larger library. A pathway mindset is a twelve-week journey to one role outcome, with evidence at LTEM tier 4 or above on the key actions and unlock rules tied to the assessment map. A catalog mindset is five hundred courses, completion percent as success, and no prerequisites.

The report does not say to replace managers with AI tutors or to eliminate formal learning. Champions blend channels. If a stakeholder hears “36%” and orders a larger catalog, you have used the number backwards.
