Go to YouTube, Vimeo, Youku, Tencent Video or hosted video service provider of your choice, and type in your Interactive Learning Design subject area into the ā€˜searchā€™ box. Choose a video from the list that comes up that you might use with your learners and write a post that addresses 4-5 of the prompts below.

I chose a video from YouTube by North Birmingham VTS, ā€œAvengers-Tuckman Team Development & Belbin Team Roles.ā€ The video corresponds to the topic of our teams Interactive Learning Resource, which is learning Tuckmanā€™s Model vs. Belbinā€™s Roles. The video mainly focusses on Tuckmanā€™s Model.

  • What kind of interaction would the video require from your students? Does it force them to respond in some way (inherent)?

The kind of interaction the video would require from the student is the learner-to-content interaction. The student observes the video. Students could leave a comment of the video in the YouTube comment section. However, there is no form of inherent interactivity because it does not force the students to respond.

  • 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)?

The most likely method of interaction that students would respond to the video is by leaving a comment in the built in YouTube features that allow comments. The interactive characteristic of the video is designed interactivity.  However, YouTube videos are available to the whole world for commenting, therefore, it would be more appropriate for the teacher to set activities around the learning materials.

  • 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?

The teacher could ask the students to summarize the video and post the summary and later the teacher could give an appropriate feedback. Computer-managed interaction only helps to developing comprehension of concepts and procedures (Bates, 2019). However, with the intervention of a teacher, the students are able to gain higher order learning skills where they can think critically, analyze, and synthesis. Therefore, the students will use technologies such as online discussion forums.

  • How would students get feedback on the activity that you set? What medium or technology would they and/or you use for getting and giving feedback on their activity?

Students would get feedback through assessments from the instructor. The medium of technology used would involve online discussion forums. Each studentā€™s post and reply to a studentā€™s post are recorded and are assessed by the instructor.

  • 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?

As a teacher, the activity would involve a lot of work in setting the online discussion and providing feedback. A computer-based learning environment where the computer marks multiple choice questions would be scalable for a larger number of students. However, online discussions are not easily scalable, but are only possible for a smaller class because of the difficulty in monitoring or assessing many students.
