Blog Post #4: Interaction – EDCI 335 (opened.ca)

Hi Nayeon,

I enjoyed reading your post this week, I think you did a great job of outlining strategies learners can use to engage with material presented in the Youtube video on how to use Instagram. I like how you have ensured inclusivity and accessibility for learners by including close captioning and multiple languages for the YouTube video. You’ve already suggested that learners perform Instagram activities and make notes on others’ experiences. To build on this you could encourage learners to create reflective journals where they document their progress, insights, and any questions that arise during their activities.

I enjoyed reading your blog post this week, it provided a comprehensive overview of how the video on cyber security can be utilized effectively in an educational setting. The follow up activity you suggested involving adjusting privacy settings is a practical approach to applying the learned concepts. The feedback process through direct message is an effective approach, but offering a more interactive feedback option such as group discussions could promote engagement and collaboration between learners.

Blog Post #3: Inclusive Design

Hi! I enjoyed reading your blog post this week. Identifying and addressing potential barriers to the interactive resource, such as privacy concerns, shows attentiveness to user privacy, comfort, and security. I think it’s a great idea to give learners the option to not create a public account if they don’t feel comfortable, instead, these users can focus on navigating the privacy settings in more depth. I also like how you used transportation as an analogy for universal designs in engineering. The bus audios and visuals ensure those with accessibility impairments are able to understand the same as those without impairments. This analogy helps to demonstrate how important it is for us to have visual and audio recordings incorporated into our interactive learning design.

Hi Chikit,

This is a great exploration of how cooperative learning can be used to teach learners how to use Instagram. Your emphasis on peer connection and group collaboration aligns with the interactive nature of social media platforms. I like the idea of dividing tasks among group members because it allows each member to become confident in different aspects of Instagram then teach it to the rest of the group. Thanks for sharing!

Blog Post #2: Experiential Learning – EDCI 335 (opened.ca)

Hi Nayeon,

Your post does a great job of highlighting experiential learning and its different models. Your explanation of enactive, iconic and symbolic learning models is clear and practical in relation to Instagram use. I think the use of hands on material like visual aids will be a great addition to our guide to help learners engage with the material.
