Skipping around should be essential and it's often hard to do because of the organizational need to control things. Thanks for your input. Connie You have a lot of great points there, Anne-Laure.

Let them decide what they should start with. But keep it organized though, meaning they can go back and forth effortlessly thanks to a learning markers. This is very hard to target though because mot of companies don't know how to handle the autonomy, feeling they are loosing control. Resulting in expert designed content into a novice mind structure (hand holding)... Besides, this is not a tip but a view that stood out when I read your post: if we design for experts, let's keep in mind novices : let's design in a way experts can pass on their knowledge while they learn. It may be not in the activities but in the stories we design. Interesting article as always, thanks for sharing ! (warning : English as a second language)

The fact that you are going to adapt your learning for this group is just great. Would love to hear more about the strategies you come up with. Thanks for your input today. Best, Connie Hi Barbara,
