Warm-up

diagram

From weakest to strongest: reveal interactions → matching → sorting/prioritising → mini-scenario → simulation → real work with feedback.

Transfer improves when practice context matches performance context: same artefacts, same pressure, same messiness.

example

A well-written prioritisation task in plain Rise beats an expensive game with no decisions.

— Turning a tabs interaction into a 'which of these three emails would you send?' task.

Which activity best supports transfer?

Which activity type do you default to, and why?

Upgrade one passive interaction into a decision task.

Document the activity upgrade in Project 4.
