This was done in planning for an online tutorial, as part of the Adobe Generation Pro course, "UX and UI Design & Prototyping." The cards describe the tasks I plan to incorporate in a real-life project. I used Padlet, a tool where users gather and rearrange chunks of on-screen content. I made clones of a screen where text “cards” of text were randomly arranged (first image below), and then asked volunteers to order the text in a way that made sense to them (next three images).

I came into the exercise with an idea for a logical sequence but my testers produced different ways of approaching things. I had envisioned an overall flow of Learn > Apply > Reflect > Share. My results suggested that this would make more sense: Learn > Reflect > Apply > Reflect > Share. When I went to create a user flow, I ended up with a sequence of three cycles. A simple screen capture from Adobe XD didn’t reflect that, so I added arrows to the image.

My tutorial will have a definite sequence that learners are expected to follow. This may seem restrictive, but in the overall program learners have a great deal of control.
