Learning Design, Software Simulation, and Experiential Learning
Creating and Managing a Trello Board
An interactive software simulation demonstrating how to create and manage a Trello board through a scaffolded, hands-on experience.
Project overview
An interactive software simulation demonstrating how to create and manage a Trello board through a scaffolded, hands-on experience.
The purpose
To demonstrate the possibilities of software training through three instructional modes: View, Try, and Test.
My approach
I implemented a scaffolded learning experience built around three progressive stages that allow learners to observe a process, practice the steps, and test their ability to complete tasks within a simulated software environment.
What to look for
- View mode lets learners watch the full process before they are asked to do anything.
- Try mode gives guided practice with feedback inside the simulated environment.
- Test mode asks learners to complete the same tasks without prompts, so the practice is checked rather than assumed.
- The scaffolding is the design point: observe, practise, then perform, which is how software confidence is actually built.
