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.

What this lesson covers

  1. 01

    One action, three channels

    Draft the row before you sort the cards. Action: a warehouse picker stages the correct pallet without skipping the scan. Push: the cohort module that rehearses pick-path errors, assigned before the first shift. Pull: the aisle-label diagram they open on the scanner when a code does not match. Practice: a supervised ride-along where the coach signs the checklist. Company-history audio is push only if HR assigns it — and it does not belong on this row, because it does not change the scan. An unlock rule sits on the row too: the ride-along opens after the cohort practice is passed, not after a video percent.

    Pathway terms

    Unlock rule: The evidence that must exist before the next experience opens. Time-in-seat and video percent are weak evidence. A scored practice, a manager sign-off, or a job artifact is stronger — and you name the LTEM tier.

    Pull library: Searchable performance support the person opens while doing the job. It is not a catalog of optional courses, and it does not replace the practice that rehearses the action.

    Push: An experience assigned to a cohort on a schedule, such as week-one onboarding. If nobody is required to take it, it is not push.

  3. 03

    Podcast on company history

    Channel follows the assignment, not the file type. A company-history podcast is Push only when HR assigns it to a cohort. If people may search for it or skip it, it is Pull. If it does not support a labeled action on the map, drop it. A podcast is not practice, and calling it a pathway does not change the evidence tier.
