The Video below is what I choose to use and share with my learners in this post:

Just like Heidi said in the post “Interaction”, watching a Youtube video might not a interactive activity. For this video itself, although it provides enough output of knowledge but it didn’t include much interactions between editor and viewer.

For responding the video that contain many knowledge exports, students would take a lot of notes that already clearly organized within the video, perhaps they would also do practise questions on their own.

To make the learning process more interactive, I design students to participate the activity after watching the video. Just like what I design for our ILR project, we have 4 sections in total and students can get in a activity base on what they have learned by watching the videos or reading the article, in order to achieve corresponding learning outcome in each section. Foe example, in section 3 after finishing the style guide reading, students are required to separate into 4-5 groups, each group need to cooperate and come up one best source that support the thesis that instructor provides. Write a complete paragraph about the topic on comment area including citation and reference, and each group need to correct other groups by making another comment.Therefore learners would get the feedback from their peers. We choose blog-form to present contents is because that all activities require commenting functionality that WordPress has.

To improve teaching quality of the video, I know there is a video form that provides multiple choice within. Different choice lead to different contents which offers much more possibility to the learners and also make it more interactive than normal version.
