The video that I selected is about what diets are and how they work in our bodies directly. This video is in relation to our interactive learning resource project, which is about essential nutrients. After learning essential nutrients in our bodies, learners can use this video as an introduction to learn more about how to design their daily plan and how to make dietary choices clearly.

1. 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)? 

Learners are likely to make notes when they watch this video in order to respond to the video on their own. This video has been divided into several aspects with clear subtitles, so taking notes will be much more useful and helpful for learners to understand and review the content. The learning content in this video is directly related to learners’ lives and daily diets, so they can also share their reflections or have a further researching on this topic through learning activities.

2. What activity could you suggest that they do, after they have watched 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?

I will suggest learners to write their own reflections in relation to nutrients and diets they have learned after they have watched this video. If it is requited, I will also create an online discussion forum by using social media tool and encourage learners to discuss questions, share their reflections, and respond to other people’s experience on this online forum. Also, I will encourage them to work in a small group and design a balanced daily diet plan on the forum as well. In my opinion, this kind of learning activity can help learners to improve their communication skills and cooperative skills.

3. How would students get feedback on the activity that you set? What medium or technology would they and/or you use for getting and giving feedback on their activity?

From our reading material, Bates (2019) also reflects the importance of feedbacks in learning process. As he describes, some medium like an online discussion forum can be an effective platform for instructors to provide feedbacks (Bates, 2019). In order to give learners’ feedback on their activity, an online discussion forum will be created and used as well. In the discussion forums, learners can not only share ideas and reply to other people’s posts, but also can get feedbacks and suggestions from me as well.

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

The creator of this video can add more interactive activities in the video in order to help viewers or learners to generate more and better activities or ideas from it. For example, asking a relevant question in the end of the video in order to encourage learners to do more research on this topic. Also, adding more short questions during the video to help viewers to thinking and assessing in their learning process. The interactive activities can make the video become much more attractive as well.
