Your LMS has become Alcatraz and your learners are doing hard time for clicking too fast.

Steve also shares his own epic failure where he built a course so controlled it basically needed a parole board.

If your progress bar is running the show, this one will hurt… and fix you.

One Big Thing: If your course feels like surveillance, no one’s learning.

Two Small Things: Stop forcing, start trusting. And remove one barrier today.
