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

Learning designers see interaction as one of the main ways to keep students engaged and active in learning. Views are held on it in three major ways: how students interact with materials, how they do so with each other, and finally, how they connect with their teachers. One aims to pick the right mix to match what students need to learn.

  1. 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)?

Several such tools and activities, like discussion boards or interactive quizzes, or group projects, require a lot of interactivity among the students. And here this idea comes in, that students need to be presented with enough engaging, collaborating opportunities to make learning more dynamic and involved.

  1. 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?

Technology has made learning more interactive and flexible, so there is better engagement with the material and fellow students. It has provided new opportunities to learn and collaborate, although it does need to be carefully designed in order to really work effectively.

  1. 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?

Lack of interaction leads to easy loss of interest and hence difficulty in grasping concepts. Good interaction, on the other end, makes the learning process interesting, and concepts are well understood and well internalized.

  1. 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?

The hands-on learning experiences have kept me engaged and helped solidify my understanding of the material. This has made the process more enjoyable and effective by enabling one to discuss ideas with others and practice what one has learned.
