🏗 When you're learning something new, the right level of support goes a long way. In learning design, scaffolding refers to the support structures you provide to learners as they develop knowledge and skills. Think of it like constructing a building: you start with strong support, then gradually remove support elements as the structure becomes stable. Similarly, in education, scaffolding involves giving learners the right amount of help at the right time, so they can confidently progress from simple to complex tasks without feeling under- or overstimulated. Whether you’re designing a curriculum, writing a course, or creating interactive simulations, integrating scaffolding into your learning experiences ensures that learners aren’t overwhelmed and can achieve mastery at their own pace. This might involve ➡ breaking down difficult tasks into manageable steps, ➡ recommending learning units based on a pre-assessment, ➡ providing clear instructions, and ➡ offering feedback and resources just when learners need them. With this approach, scaffolding empowers learners to become independent and capable, making the learning process both effective and enjoyable. #learningexperiencedesign #learningdesign #transitioningteachers #learninganddevelopment #instructionaldesign #elearning
