I think the use of introductory text, followed by a visual video, is effective - it uses a mixture of media to reinforce the concepts. ]]> 2021-11-24 23:36:17 UTC https://padlet.com/teachexcellence1/ev3jmh03waumzp79/wish/1911439191 https://padlet.com/teachexcellence1/ev3jmh03waumzp79/wish/1911446950 I thought signalling was used well in the videos that I watched. They stepped through the concepts by bringing them up one at a time (they weren't displayed all at once), and the narration talked through visual images rather than written text (which reduces the cognitive overload)]]> 2021-11-24 23:46:07 UTC https://padlet.com/teachexcellence1/ev3jmh03waumzp79/wish/1911446950 https://padlet.com/teachexcellence1/ev3jmh03waumzp79/wish/1911451988 I thought the navigation was relatively clear, until you got to the end of the page and there were multiple options for where to go next (previous page, exit book, optional reading, quiz). By providing multiple pathways through the content, it would be easy to "get lost" and not know where you are up to in the module.]]> 2021-11-24 23:52:40 UTC https://padlet.com/teachexcellence1/ev3jmh03waumzp79/wish/1911451988 https://padlet.com/teachexcellence1/ev3jmh03waumzp79/wish/1911455115 I liked the clear instructions at the start of the module, explaining what the learner is going to encounter (the content that they will cover, how long it will take them to navigate, why the content is relevant, and the aims/objectives of the module). I am definitely keen to incorporate this in my courses because I think that clarity helps lay the foundation for the delivery of content that is to come.]]> 2021-11-24 23:56:34 UTC https://padlet.com/teachexcellence1/ev3jmh03waumzp79/wish/1911455115 https://padlet.com/teachexcellence1/ev3jmh03waumzp79/wish/1924477239 I agree with Sally, there was a bit of a sense of straying from the given path and not finding your way back with the options provided at the bottom. ]]> 2021-12-02 06:26:16 UTC https://padlet.com/teachexcellence1/ev3jmh03waumzp79/wish/1924477239 https://padlet.com/teachexcellence1/ev3jmh03waumzp79/wish/1924479989 Paula
I feel there could have been more instances of active learning, as while there was variety of input (video / text / visuals), there was not many comprehension checks embedded throughout. Elements of activating prior knowledge or connection to own circumstances could have been used to deepen and consolidate the learning for me]]> 2021-12-02 06:28:47 UTC https://padlet.com/teachexcellence1/ev3jmh03waumzp79/wish/1924479989 https://padlet.com/teachexcellence1/ev3jmh03waumzp79/wish/1924481406 Paula
I agree. I wonder if it would also have been useful to have some smaller outline or learning path at the start of each Part within the module? I'm keen to incorporate these too, but worry that it might seem repetitive and then lose it's benefits]]> 2021-12-02 06:30:07 UTC https://padlet.com/teachexcellence1/ev3jmh03waumzp79/wish/1924481406 https://padlet.com/teachexcellence1/ev3jmh03waumzp79/wish/1924487658 Paula
The videos are short (under 5 mins) - which fits in with the discussion regarding optimal video length. This was interesting as I underestimated the importance of this a- it's useful to think of it in relation to longer lectures / recordings that just get uploaded. All videos and images are relevant, and the summaries and short introductions support the content.
There are questions embedded throughout, however more opportunities for thinking actively would foster that deeper understanding]]> 2021-12-02 06:36:21 UTC https://padlet.com/teachexcellence1/ev3jmh03waumzp79/wish/1924487658
