Tinkercad: A Blended Teaching and Learning Tool

Abstract

Tinkercad is a teaching and learning tool which could be used for electronic circuit implementation, software coding and 3D model designing. Technical skill sets improve by practicing designing and coding using Tinkercad simulation. The realistic view of the components gives real time feeling like students doing practical in laboratory. This paper will elaborate the design and development of basic electronic circuit, Arduino based circuit and a 3D model. An effective blended pedagogy which will help the students to understand the designing concept and its implementation. Tinkercad is an open-source free -ware simulation tool hence it’s possible to every student to practice lab work with it. In the situation where physical laboratory work was not possible, Tinkercad provided a helping hand for Teachers and students to perform practical virtually.
