Welcome!

I’m Prof Trent, a learning experience designer and former French professor.

Here you’ll find a showcase of my projects, class activities, professional presentations, and resources for French language learners and lovers. You may also spy my dog, Marcel. He’s kind of a fixture around here and likes to get his paws into a lot of what I do.

Browse the (mostly) completed projects in my Portfolio, but keep checking back! I’ve got a ton of plans and this site is still under construction, so there will always be new things to see!

  • Developed as an accessible alternative to a virtual reality experience, Kitchen Cordon Bleu is an inventory auditing simulation in which students take on the role of junior auditors tasked with completing a physical inventory audit of a fictional kitchenware company.

  • FrançaisMon GO began as QR Scavenger Hunt review activity themed around the popular app, Pokémon GO. It went on to serve as an interactive Professional Development Presentation, then in Version 2.0, it was completely transformed into a gamified approach to covering content.
