I wonder if I put a few words here?

Looking back at the previous modules, I was primed to recognize and try out many of the tools. Not only did I learn about many new teaching models, but I also learned about many tools that support teaching and learning. For example, twine and H5P were completely new to me, but I didn’t feel unfamiliar with their uses. If you are a person who imparts knowledge, the flexible use of these tools can help to convey the knowledge better. And I think these two tools are more for those who teach knowledge to have a clearer logic to express the content.

Also, there are some new things I learned about AI. For example, I know more aspects of AI systems. The ones that can generate images, music, videos, etc. But in my attempts I am more certain that AI is not creative. It is more of just an amalgamation of existing human material. So, when it comes to teaching, AI can be an aid, but not without the ability to be a standalone solution.

Overall, after learning about so many new tools, I have found that the use of these tools can be a huge time saver. It can also add fun to some teaching. But it’s mostly about human thinking and there needs to be clear considerations and decisions to use these tools better. As for students receiving knowledge, tools of the type similar to H5P fall into the category of tools that allow for active learning. The multimedia model of teaching and learning may be the students’ favorite way of learning. But passive learning is also indispensable. The diversity of teaching can be increased, but the intensity of teaching should not be weakened. This is a very difficult point to balance.

The learning objective of this video is to teach a simple piece of work for beginners of chenille stems. Hopefully, it will attract some new hobbyists to the joys of this craft. I think the video format is better for scholars to follow and learn. This is because it is difficult to show each step of the arts and crafts accurately with the illustrations. And the video is a 3D view which can be simple and clear for beginners to follow. I covered Mayer’s Segmenting Principle and I tried to keep the video under 5 minutes. To do this I edited the extra parts and sped up my video. And Mayer’s Coherence Principle has been maintained as much as possible, I have only one focus in my footage. I think these two principles are important for learning content. Because for a manual instruction, if there are other things in the frame, it is easy to distract the viewer, and secondly, if the video is too long, it will be boring and uninteresting.
Shooting this video was challenging, and it was very difficult for me to balance the movement of my hands with the explanation. It was also challenging to express the hand movements. The easiest part was that my logic was very clear when I wrote the script. I simply wrote down sentences and flows to remind me what to say at each stage. It just wasn’t as easy as expected when I started filming. Next time I would like to use ai voice reading as a voice over. I think it would make up for my weakness in expression.

Welcome and Introduction

2021-05-04 / / 0 Comments

Before proceeding with this first blog post, we expect you to consider your privacy preferences carefully and that you have considered the following options:

  1. Do you want to be online vs. offline?
  2. Do you want to use your name (or part thereof) vs. a pseudonym (e.g., West Coast Teacher)?
  3. Do you want to have your blog public vs. private? (Note, you can set individual blog posts private or password protected or have an entire blog set to private)
  4. Have you considered whether you are posting within or outside of Canada? This blog on opened.ca is hosted within Canada. That said, any public blog posts can have its content aggregated/curated onto social networks outside of Canada.

First tasks you might explore with your new blog:

  • Go into its admin panel found by adding /wp-admin at the end of your blog’s URL
  • Add new category or tags to organize your blog posts – found under “Posts” (but do not remove the pre-existing categories or sub-categories).  If you would like to add more course categories, please do so (e.g., add EDCI 306A with no space for Music Ed, etc.)
  • See if your blog posts are appearing on the course website (you must have the course categories assigned to a post first and have provided your instructor with your blog URL)
  • Add pages
  • Embed images or set featured images and embed video in blog posts and pages (can be your own media or that found on the internet, but consider free or creative commons licensed works)
  • Under Appearance,
    • Select your preferred website theme and customize to your preferences (New title, etc.)
    • Customize menus & navigation
    • Use widgets to customize blog content and features
  • Delete this starter post (or switch it to draft status if you want to keep for reference)

Do consider creating categories for each course that you take should you wish to document your learning (or from professional learning activities outside of formal courses). Keep note, however, that you may wish to use the course topic as the category as opposed to the course number as those outside of your program would not be familiar with the number (e.g., we use “Multimedia Learning” instead of “edci337).

Lastly, as always, be aware of the FIPPA as it relates to privacy and share only those names/images that you have consent to use or are otherwise public figures. When in doubt, ask us.
