1 What kind of interaction does the video require from your students? Does it force them to respond in a certain way (inherently)?
The learner does not need to interact with the video. The video focuses on teaching students how to use the features of the camera, and learners only need to watch the video.
2 In what ways might they respond to the video on their own, such as taking notes, doing activities, thinking about the topic (learner-generated)?
This video may require students to take notes. But the main purpose of the video is for students to learn to take their own shots. So, the way to respond should be to take your own pictures based on what the video teaches. If possible, start by taking one in normal mode as a reference. Understand the effect achieved by adjusting the value of exposure, focal length, and shutter speed.
3 After they have watched the video (as designed), what activity can you suggest they do? What type of knowledge or skill will the activity help develop? What medium or technique will the students use to do this activity?
After the video study, learners are expected to create a topic that they would like to film. and use the skills from the video instruction to take a series of photographs. This activity will help learners to apply the skills they have learned in a practical way in their lives. We can provide a platform for students to show and discuss with each other through online software such as zoom. They can learn from each other and look at their own work.
4 How will students get feedback on the activities you set up? What media or technology will they and/or you use to get and give feedback on their activities?
I tend to give feedback to students via email. They send me photos via email. Also, if they want, they can post on platforms like twitter and Facebook so that they can get feedback from more people. I would be more inclined to go to the links to comment on their work and give them encouragement if I included information about these social media platforms in the email.
5 How much work will the campaign give you? Is the work both manageable and worthwhile? Can the activity be adapted for more students?
The workload of this activity is mostly in the feedback on the students’ work. I think the work is very worthwhile and manageable. However, if the number of students increases, the workload will also increase. For example, student interaction may involve grouping students to ensure that the number of students is not too large. In terms of feedback on student work, if the number of students is too large then only email feedback will be given.
