Video’s can be a very beneficial multimedia tool if created properly. After COVID-19 shut down the school, school moved to an online system. Here, professors did a range of multimedia tools to delivery their course material. Many of my Professors used videos to explain the class lectures. I will use the SECTIONS model to evaluate my previous class’s video lectures. To begin, my professors target was the students enrolled in the class. However, many students were forced to move back home which could mean a different time zone. With these videos, students can watch the lectures on their own time. Next, the new platform of Brightspaces made watching these videos easy to use. There were often categorized to make it easy to find a certain video. I am uncertain about the Costs and teaching function details of these videos. But, the interaction was often clear. The learning material was directed to the learners. If a learner was unclear about the material, the student can reach to the expert (professor) for clarity. Moreover, the university provided useful platforms for recording videos and posting them. This helped avoid organizational issues. Next in the model is networking. Professors would often provide other readings and videos that relate to the course material. However, this information is not always in the videos. The final step to SECTION is security and privacy. I always felt safe when watching the videos, as it was on a safe platform. Overall, it seems like my professors followed the steps in creating successful videos.
Hi,
I was glad that you talked about covid-19, since I didn’t talk about it in my own blog post. Videos really open up another area for students to use and showcase their learning, but also helps teachers to gives students a tutorial or help them learn better through visuals during this pandemic!
Thanks,
Toby
Hi Rianne,
Thanks for sharing! COVID-19 brought so many new and exciting ways to learn. I found the video lectures that professors posted to be super beneficial, as personally I enjoy being able to pause, rewind, and speed up lectures at my own pace. They also allowed students from any time one to have access to the same material, providing an inclusive learning environment.
