In development · first pilot at Brandeis University
Most software training teaches one app. Real work never uses one app.
Wazapod teaches workflows that cross applications — the survey tool into the spreadsheet into the visualisation, the CAD file into the slicer into the printer — and grades the result in the real software, not a simulation.
The gap
Interactive training platforms are good at one thing: guiding somebody through a single application. Nothing guides a learner across the seam between two of them, which is exactly where real work happens and exactly where people get stuck — because the hand-off is the hard part, not the clicking.
- Survey tool
- Spreadsheet
- Visualisation
Wazapod models a workflow as a graph whose edges are those hand-offs, and each one carries the artefact that moves. That is the part no existing tool represents.
Start from what you already have
Nobody has time to author a course from scratch. Wazapod ingests the material that already exists and turns it into something a learner can practise against.
Training decks
A slide deck becomes a chunked lesson plan. Anything the deck implies but does not state becomes an explicit gap for a human to resolve — never an invention.
Screen recordings
Narrated screen capture becomes segmented steps with captions, keyed to what was on screen when it was said.
Written guides
Existing documentation, with or without screenshots, becomes the same structured workflow as everything else.
Graded in the real application
A simulation can tell you somebody clicked the right pixel. It cannot tell you they can do the job. So practice happens in the actual software, and what gets graded is the artefact they produced — a repository, a spreadsheet, a sliced print file — with per-criterion evidence a student can see and dispute.
Evidence, not a number
Every criterion records what was checked, what was expected and what was actually found. A criterion that could not be evaluated is marked as such, never scored as zero.
Setup verified first
A learner confirms their environment works before any graded work begins, so nobody discovers a broken install an hour in.
Grades reach the gradebook
LTI 1.3 with Assignment and Grade Services, so scores post back to Moodle or Canvas without anybody copying a spreadsheet.
Built for the flipped classroom
The point is not to replace teaching. It is that students arrive having already got the software working and having already succeeded once — so contact time goes on applying the skill to a problem worth solving, rather than on watching forty people install the same thing.
Where it actually is
Being specific, because a status page that says "coming soon" tells you nothing:
- Working today
- LTI 1.3 launch, grade passback, the learner player through setup verification and practice, instructor roster and readiness views, accommodations.
- In progress
- Turning decks into draft lessons, and the review tools an author needs to correct them before anybody learns from them.
- Not built
- On-screen guidance overlays, the AI tutor, and third-party video lessons.
- Accessibility
- An accessibility conformance report exists and names the defects that remain rather than claiming there are none.
