This is the video that I have chosen:
2. 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)?
Students are likely to think about the topic on their own. They might form questions on the topic. They might take notes on the video. Given the relevance of the topic, they might be able to better contextualize some of the health directives from the government that affect their lives on a day-to-day basis such as masking and social distancing. The information gleaned from this video might help them to understand the reasoning behind the importance of following the health directives.
3. 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?
After watching the video, students can be grouped into random groups of 3-4 and given a white board for collaborative drawing and labelling. Students can be given a series of tasks and objectives, such as being asked to draw a big circle, representing a cell, and draw the ACE2 receptors somewhere on the circle represent how viruses can enter the cell in any way they like. Such an activity would help students to work together and identify each the gaps in each others’ knowledge and improve each others’ understanding of the topic through discussion and collaboration.
4. 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?
After the activity, students would go through quizzes that they take through an online learning management system like BrightSpace. These quizzes can be in the form of a self-assessment, formative assessment or summative assessment, depending on how much of the material they’ve covered and which activities they have completed.
7. How will you address any potential barriers for your learners in the use of this video to ensure an inclusive design?
For learners with colour blindness, the contrast of the video could be adjusted to suit their needs. For those with loss of hearing, the video comes with captions. For English language learners, the video comes with captions in many other languages. For a single parent who is working full-time with 2 children, the video can be viewed asynchronously at their own convenience. For the person who does not have access to a computer at home but has a mobile phone with a data plan, this video can be accessed on their phone through the YouTube mobile app.
