Blog#4 Understanding social psychology in the basic level by watching a video.

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

The video is about learning basic social psychology, It is a teaching video that is most suitable for watching. The interaction is not necessary for the video, but it did provide some instructions. First, no one should be left out of learning, so we must have measures that everybody can have assessability to the course, students by rasing their hands in the zoom meeting can specify which help they need, and the professors can work on the solutions. Second, social psychology is an interactive topic, so I would suggest that students not only learn from the videos but apply some of the knowledge through practice in real life.

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)?

Making notes is a powerful way to respond to the video especially if they are watching the videos without a professor. Since the video is recorded and there are not many activities provided within the video, I would suggest taking notes as the most effective response.

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 work will be manageable and worthwhile, the students can choose their way of approaching the activity since some students might have a physical problem that prevents them from engaging in a hard and heavy load of activity. The activity should be easy to complete.

How could the video have been designed to generate more or better activity from viewers or students?

The activity is essential either a quiz or puzzle where there should be more accessibility for disabled students as well.

Blog#3 Inclusive design

How will my interactive learning resource specifically ensure that the needs of all learners can be met?

According to an inclusive learning design post: “An inclusive design begins with the understanding that every person is a learner, and every learner has the right to pursue excellence and achievement. ” There are many ways we can assure the needs of all learners. First, different levels of difficulty in tasks can be attributed to different groups of people. For people who have little knowledge about a topic, they can start with the least difficult task, as for people who already have previous knowledge, a harder task can be used to measure their learning. For people who have a disability, a separate task can be applied. For example, people who are experiencing blindness. The instructions will be read by the instructor and the reply can be verbal instead of written.

How can you adjust your planned learning activities to meet the needs of your learners if an unexpected event occurs?

There will be separate training provided by instructors for learning activities, for example, the pandemic happens, the employees have to go through new training to ensure their productivity.

Consider the learning environment for your current design. What potential barriers can be reduced or eliminated to provide more pathways for learner success?

Some of the learning resources used in my interactive learning design are from the university databases which have limits for people who are not attending universities or colleges. Well-known news articles can be possible sources for learners as well, however, the validity of these news articles need to be checked.

Feedback and Comments on Blog 1

Hi, Nataly, I really liked your post on learning, motivation and theory. You mentioned the behaviourism method for learning which it can be applied to teach individuals in all developmental stages. I really like your interpretation on Behavioursim method. The example you used which receiving an A+ grade and the positive feedback from your parent’s verbal praise and ackowledgment is an great example for how the motivation works in learning.

Hi, Ben, I really liked your pictures and I also agreed with your idea that starting a new school year having lessons written with a mix of three approaches is probably the best way. I also think the way you proposed your teaching method in your article will have a effective impact.

Blog#2 Open pedagogies

Open pedagogy describes teaching practices

  1. commit to learner-driven education that is access-oriented.
  2. enable students to engage in the field of public knowledge and content creation through assignments and learning tools. 

Open pedagogy is included with creating, adapting or updating OER with students, building course policies, learning outcomes and course assignments by working collaboratively with students. It is “the practice of engaging with students as creators of information rather than simply consumers of it. It’s a form of experiential learning in which students demonstrate understanding through the act of creation.

It also aligns with the topic mentioned in our group’s blueprint design where we our topic is basically how to learn better. For instance, a study by James et al. (2021) states a survey by Surgical Neurology International found that the most favored ways of learning is by reading abstracts likely associated with the single papers they read, followed by searching the internet and talking with colleagues. This means that the way we learn is based on reading and social interactions. In this learning design, we divided the ideas into two parts: First, the instructional methods educators can use to frame and guide the lessons they teach, and second, strategies that educators can use to support effective learning during their lessons.

It will also have a place in my final interactive learning project since I decided to the final project based on a psychology angle.
