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

A: The video doesn’t require any interaction from the students. They only need to sit tight and watch the 5-minute video, while thinking about the illustrations of the 4 tips the video presented. It would be ideal for them to think about how the 4 tips work in practice.

Q: 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)?

A: The students would be likely to pay close attention to the video and take some notes on the tips given. And I would expect them to take notes on the advice, the 3 rules, as well as the 4 tips that are shown in the video. After the video they would think about how the content of the video is related to the topic in our course: leadership skills. They would probably also have some questions to ask after watching the video that can be thrown out for everyone to discuss during our later course.

Q: 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?

A: After watching the video, I would like for the students to write a post on a forum created for this course. The post would include 2 parts. In the first part they would have to present at least one question they had during or after watching the video. The question has to be related to the video and the topic of our course. It could be about the 4 tips provided in the video and it has to be one that hasn’t been answered in the video. In the second part, the students are expected to write 3 things they have learned from the video. But they are expected to not only copy what was listed out in the video, but also what was said in the video that make them think about improving their own leadership skills, or at least what they can start doing now that would lead to their improving their skills later on. And then they would read and reply to the other students posts. Each student is expected to reply to at least 2 other students.

The activity would help the students with their critical thinking as well as they skills on communicating with other people in terms of giving feedback or suggestions to their posts. And they could use whatever electronic devices to get onto the forum to post and reply to their classmates.

Q: 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?

A: The activity would need me to monitor the students on their posting and replying to other students. I would need to check the forum once or twice in the whole activity giving guidance and feedback to the students. It would be manageable and worthwhile, for I can do the feedback as long as I have the internet connection and a electronic device. And it could be scaled for larger numbers of students because checking posts and replies should be an easy job.
