Blog post 4 Interaction

This blog post focuses on interaction for designing learning resources. As my topic for learning resources is play-based learning so major videos were just kids performing tasks physically in videos but there were very limited tutorial videos. But I came across a phonic song video for kids.

Following is the reply to selected blog prompts

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

Yes, the kids enjoy this kind of music and hand actions as they try to copy the hand actions. This is a very good source of learning as it supports multiple formats of content delivery( visual, sounds, hand actions). Kids try to copy the actions while they also learn the alphabet.

In what way are they likely to respond to the video on their own, e.g. make notes, do an activity, or think about the topic (learner-generated)?

The kids try to copy the hand actions and try to speak the alphabet. Also, the visuals are very appealing to the children.

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?

They should try to recite the alphabet with the same words and hand actions. For example A for apple with a hand sign for apple. This will help them in getting familiar with the alphabet and common words. Kids can watch this video on mobile, tv, or iPad.

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?

There are numerous ways to get feedback. Parents are the best source for the feedback otherwise if this video is part of a classroom activity teacher can provide feedback. Also in modern technology speech recognition can also help.

How could the video have been designed to generate more or better activity from viewers or students?

As kids are not much familiar with the concept there should be a interval between alphabets in which students can also try simultaneously and there can be some motivational sentences in between.
