The video I chose was posted on CrashCourse Youtube, the account posts many different interactive educational videos for all ages.
1. There is reflective interaction from students, though post engagement needed is passive like watching and listening. There are constant facts provided with thought-provoking questions to help inspire viewers to reflect on the material provided. In relation to Chapter 9.6 these videos would follow user-generated interaction where voluntary action is needed. Such examples of this would be taking notes, personal research and creative projects such as artwork.
4. As mentioned in the reading feedback is a crucial element of interaction in the process of learning. After watching a video like the Crash Course one, students are given an opportunity to submit material either through a learning management system like Microsoft Teams or submit in person. Both these options give teachers the ability to mark and give feedback to students with the goal of prompting guided reflection.
5. Showing a video can be nice for teachers to have a break, however, you do not know if the student will actually retain the information or if they will instead use the time to doze off. So for that, a video can take the strain off a teachers voice for the time played, but I still think there should be a type of assignment ensuring knowledge was retained. For this, showing the educational video takes time but is manageable.
6. A number of steps should be taken to guarantee that the video and related activities are accessible. The transcriptions and subtitles for the clips can be added to improve availability for students with hearing difficulties. It is also essential to ensure that films and online platforms are compatible with a variety of devices, such as laptops, tablets, and cellphones. For subject sensitivity, it’s also critical to provide content warnings and assistance for kids who might find talks of poverty upsetting. Finally, accommodating a variety of learning styles is achieved by giving students the option to pick from a variety of response formats for their assignments, such as papers, multimedia lectures, or creative endeavors. All students can benefit from an inclusive and encouraging learning environment thanks to these actions.
Hi Sophie,
Thank you for your post. Have you ever tried Edpuzzle? It is a duplicating Youtube or mp4 video editing tool that allows users to upload a video or select one already published and make it their own. I used an Edpuzzle for an activity and enjoyed being able to stop the video in key places and add commentary or questions.
Another consideration I had when I clicked on the youtube link was if you might consider embedding the Youtube video into your WordPress. WordPress and YouTube interoperate and the added visual images to the blog make the blog an interactive process modelling the content of the blog while critiquing a video that does not meet the interactivity criteria.
I believe you can use the code:
Hi Stephanie! Thank you for your comment. I have never tried Edpuzzle, however, one of my group members has mentioned this tool to me. Seems super interesting! I will definitely take your your advice into consideration.
