Add an Interactive Pull-Tab Recap to Your Rise Course

End-of-course summaries can feel like a wall of “remember this” text. The Take What You Learned interactive from Mighty Studio gives those key takeaways a little motion, a little nostalgia, and a much better reason to click.

Mighty Studio Pick of the Week: Take What You Learned (Interactive Pull Tabs)

This Mighty Studio template works especially well when you want learners to revisit important ideas one at a time: key takeaways, misconceptions, “watch-outs,” reflection prompts, or final reminders before they leave the course.

Like an old-school bulletin board #

If you’ve ever seen a community bulletin board with little tear-off phone number tabs, you already understand the interaction model.

With this custom interactive, learners select a pull tab, which “rips” away with a satisfying animation, and a more detailed insight is revealed. After all the tabs are selected, the interaction ends with a completion message and confetti.

It’s playful, but it still has a clear instructional job: slow learners down just enough to process each takeaway separately.

That makes it a nice fit for:

• A course wrap-up or final lesson
• A “what to remember on the job” recap
• Common misconceptions and corrections
• A checklist of behaviors to watch for
• A reflection activity where each tab reveals a prompt
• A compliance course reminder section that needs a little more energy than a bullet list

Find the template in Mighty Studio#

The source example uses custom Take What You Learned block, created by Erica, available directly from the Mighty Studio Discover page.

To find it:

1. Open Mighty Studio.
2. Go to the Discover page.
3. Search for “Take What You Learned.”
4. Open the template preview to see the pull-tab interaction in action.

In the preview, you’ll see the basic pattern: a title, intro copy, multiple pull tabs, insight text for each tab, and a completion state after all tabs are selected.

What you can customize#

Before adding the block to Rise, it’s worth knowing what the template gives you control over.

In the video, Nicole previews the interactive in authoring test mode and calls out the editable pieces:

• Title
• Intro text
• Completion title
• Completion message
• Colors, so the interaction can better match your brand
• Key takeaway labels for each pull tab
• Key takeaway insights revealed after learners select a tab
• The number of takeaways: you can remove items or add more

The demo starts with six pull tabs, but you’re not locked into that count. If your recap only has three essential ideas, keep it tight. If you need more, add them intentionally.

A quick design note: just because you can add any number of tabs doesn’t mean you should. This interaction works best when each tab feels worth pulling. If you have twelve tiny reminders, consider grouping them into fewer, stronger ideas.

Add the block to your Rise course#

Once you’re ready to build, head into your Rise course.

Here’s the workflow:

1. Open your course in Articulate Rise 360.
2. Go to the lesson where you want the recap to appear.
3. Add a new block.
4. Open Mighty Blocks.
5. Go to Studio Templates.
6. Search for “Take What You Learned.”
7. Select the template and add it to your course.

That drops the interactive into your Rise lesson as a Mighty block, ready for customization.

This is the part that’s helpful on a real production timeline: you’re not building the interaction mechanics from scratch. You’re using a ready-made Mighty Studio template, then focusing your time where it matters most—the writing, structure, and fit for the course.

Example: turn it into a “Community Watch” for misconceptions#

In the video, Nicole takes the original end-of-course takeaway idea and reframes it as a Community Watch flyer.

Instead of “here are the key takeaways,” each pull tab becomes a misconception to watch out for in learning work.

The updated title is:

Community Watch

And the intro asks learners to select a pull tab to reveal a misconception to watch out for in their work.

A few example tab concepts from the demo include:

• Goldfish brains—a reminder that grabbing attention is about being relevant, not assuming learners have impossibly short attention spans
• Learning styles—a reminder that you may be born an Aquarius, but you’re not born with one fixed learning style

That framing is what makes the interaction memorable.

Write your tabs like takeaways, not menu labels#

A pull-tab recap gives you two writing surfaces: the short tab label and the longer revealed insight.

Use them differently.

For the tab label, write something brief and curiosity-friendly. A label like “Learning styles” is clear. A label like “Everyone has one learning style” can work even better if your revealed insight corrects the misconception.

For the insight, give the learner the useful version of the idea. This is where you can add the nuance, action, or reminder you want them to carry forward.

For example:

• Tab label: Goldfish brains
• Revealed insight: Attention is earned through relevance, clarity, and timing—not gimmicks based on the myth that learners can’t focus.

Or:

• Tab label: Learning styles
• Revealed insight: Design for the goal and the context, not a supposed fixed learner type. Use multiple modes when they support the task.

The interaction is quick, so the copy should be quick too. Aim for one strong idea per tab.

Match the interaction to your course brand#

The video also highlights the color customization inside the template. Nicole updates the example with Mighty colors and a pink background, but the same idea applies to your own course system.

Use the template’s color settings to bring the block closer to your:

• Brand palette
• Course theme
• Campaign or program identity
• Visual treatment for recap sections

This matters because Rise courses often need to satisfy stakeholders who care deeply about brand consistency. Tools like Global Styles help you maintain brand consistency with typography, but custom interactions can be harder to align visually unless the block itself is editable.

With this Mighty Studio template, you can adjust the interactive’s colors directly rather than settling for a one-size-fits-all insert.

Where this works best in a Rise course#

The most obvious placement is near the end of a lesson or course, right before a final knowledge check, reflection, or next-steps section.

But the “pull to reveal” pattern can do more than summarize. Try it when you need learners to uncover:

• Three to six common mistakes before practicing a skill
• Red flags in a scenario-based lesson
• Customer objections and recommended responses
• Safety hazards to watch for on the job
• Coaching reminders for managers
• Myths and facts before a policy rollout

The key is to make the tab action meaningful. If the learner is “pulling” something from a flyer, what are they taking with them? A reminder? A warning? A phone-number-style next step? A phrase to use later?

That metaphor can help you shape the whole block.

Accessibility and learner experience notes#

A playful interaction still needs to be usable.

As you customize your version, keep the essentials in mind:

• Keep tab labels short enough to scan.
• Make the revealed insight clear without relying only on the animation.
• Check color contrast after changing the palette.
• Avoid putting critical information only in decorative language or jokes.
• Don’t overload the interaction with too many tabs.

The animation and confetti are part of the charm, but the learning value comes from the structure: select one idea, read it, move to the next, complete the set.

A simple build plan#

If you want to try this in your next Rise course, use this quick planning sequence before you open the editor:

1. Choose the recap purpose: takeaways, misconceptions, red flags, or next steps.
2. Draft four to six tab labels.
3. Write one concise insight for each label.
4. Decide on the completion message learners should see after all tabs are selected.
5. Add Take What You Learned from Mighty Blocks under Studio Templates.
6. Customize the title, intro text, tab labels, insights, completion copy, and colors.
7. Preview the interaction in context and trim anything that feels too long.

That’s enough to turn a standard recap into something learners actually want to finish.

Take what they should remember#

The Take What You Learned template is a small interaction with a specific job: make key ideas feel concrete, clickable, and memorable at the moment learners are about to leave the course.

Try it for your next Rise wrap-up, or repurpose it like the Community Watch example when you want learners to pull away the misconceptions, red flags, or reminders they’ll need later.
