Hi Liding, thanks for sharing your post. I think the type of interaction for your activity is learner-to-content interaction. Because you mentioned that this is a pre-class activity for students to warm up, so I think this interactivity is crucial because it will allow students to receive successful learning outcomes and class completion. A connection between your post and mine is our interactivities are both video watching. Personally speaking, video watching is an excellent choice to use in eLearning because it helps keep students engaged with the topic, and they are very demonstration-friendly. Besides learner-to-content interaction, learner-to-instructor interaction is also involved in your activity when you write your analysis in a word document or email and share it with your students. In terms of learner-to-instructor interaction, the instructor can clarify issues, reinforce the theme of this topic and stimulate learners’ motivation into the class later. I think your explanation for your interactive learning resource is comprehensive. You talk about the skill that you will be collected within this interactivity, then I am just wondering if you can tell me more about what kind of skill this interactivity help students to develop? Also, it would be much clear if you can link the YouTube video you mentioed to your post. Overall, I like the topic of K-pop culture. Looking forward to viewing your interactive learning resource.
Hello Glenn, I agree with your post that watching videos require learner-content interaction with students because watching this YouTube video allows learners to interact with the course instructional materials to learn. However, I noticed that our thinking is different in the way of the designed activity. I believe that it may take a lot of time for the teacher to provide useful feedback for each student’s summary writing in the class. At the same time, students might just wait to get their feedback. In my opinion, before the students summarize the video and post the summary online, students could communicate in forums with each other in order to participate in discussions, ask questions, and explore the topic. The forum type of interaction is really helpful for groups to brainstorm ideas, plan for any activities and even give and receive feedback. After that, the students are more confident to start writing the summary. Then, they could gather together as groups (not necessarily to be in the same group as before) again, share the file and discuss their ideas. Lastly, the teacher can provide feedback and clarify any uncertainties as groups that are more efficient, especially for a large scale of students. Moreover, I agree that the assessment activity, which includes multiple choices, would be the optimal type in a web browser-based learning environment. Please let me know if you have any questions about my comment. Thank you!
