- What kind of interaction would the video require from your students? Does it force them to respond in some way (inherent)?
- In what way are they likely to respond to the video on their own, e.g. make notes, do an activity, think about the topic (learner-generated)?
- What activity could you suggest that they do, after they have watched the video (designed)? What type of knowledge or skill would that activity help develop? What medium or technology would students use to do the activity?
- How much work for you would that activity cause? Would the work be both manageable and worthwhile? Could the activity be scaled for larger numbers of students?
This was the first video that came up when I searched my groups Interactive Learning Design subject. This video works great for younger learners as it is easy to follow along and has great pictures that help you follow along. The video does not force the students to respond in any specific way, the video explains the topic in a well manner, therefore the students would just have to pay attention. Depending on the age of the learners, some may want to write down some notes or even draw some of foods that they saw in the video. An activity that I would suggest if I were to present this video to my students is a research project. Students would work in pairs or small groups to conduct research on a food of their choice, to create a poster to show to the rest of their classmates. As students are choosing a type of food that they want to learn about, this activity shouldn’t cause too much work for the educator or the learners. This activity encourages partner work inclusion between all of the students. Learners will benefit from this project as they have the opportunity to improve their social skills and collaborate with other classmates. If the learners are young I would suggest groups of 2-4 students, as finding a topic that everyone likes and agrees with might cause some stress.
