1. What activity could you suggest they do after watching 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?

After students watch the video, I would suggest an activity that engagingly shows their understanding of it. I would get students to create a short video explaining what the video was about and what they learned. This could be done in groups, and students could find creative ways to present this video. ( ex, music video, news anchor video, dialogue, etc). This activity would help develop students’ critical thinking and creativity skills. Students could use smartphones or iPads to film the videos, and they could be uploaded onto Google Docs or interactive websites such as a private TikTok or a padlet. 

  1. How would students get feedback on the activity that you set? What medium or technology would they and/or you use to get and give feedback on their activity?

Students would get two different forms of feedback from other students and the teacher. Students would be asked to upload their video reflections, and peers could comment on each other’s posts. The teacher would also add private comments on what video was presented, whether it met the requirements and possible improvements. I would use, as mentioned, a padlet, which allows students to upload their videos and allows their peers to view each other’s videos and comment on each other’s submissions. Allowing student feedback and discussion will allow interaction between the learner and other learners, which supports students learning. As well as, through instructor feedback, there is a different level of interaction happening within the activity that positively impacts the students learning. 

  1. How much work would that activity cause for you? Would the work be both manageable and worthwhile? Could the activity be scaled for larger numbers of students?

This activity would be very manageable because the videos students would make would be short and in groups, so there would be less to watch and grade. All videos would also be in the same place for teachers to access. This activity would be worthwhile because it allows students to understand the concept while fostering their creativity and seeing what they come up with.  This activity could be scaled for a smaller or larger number of students, there could be bigger group sizes for a larger overall group of students to accommodate.

  1. How will you address any potential barriers for your learners when using this video to ensure an inclusive design?

I would address any barriers for the learners by allowing students to choose what kind of video they wanted to create in case they weren’t comfortable doing a specific type of video. There may be barriers, such as students not feeling comfortable being in a video. In this case, I could make it more inclusive by allowing students to do voice-overs rather than having to be in the video. Within this video, there may be barriers to understanding the video for some students, so it would be important to make sure the video had captions or a text transcript in case students needed it.
