Here is the Video I found on YouTube that I think is beneficial for our topic learners.
What kind of interaction would the video require from your students? Does it force them to respond in some way (inherent)?
It does not force students to respond in any ways but I do think this highly animated video in some degree will motivate students to take notes and draw sketches to help them memorize and comprehend the content since a lot of virus structures were presented vividly within this video.
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?
From my perspective, after watching a well-designed instructional video, there are few activities that can be accomplished to help achieve a higher level of understanding. 1. Summarize the characteristics of coronaviruses ( This will help students to develop their ability to conclude a topic or concept). 2. Draw a basic graphic of the virus structure according to the video (This will help students to memorize the basic knowledge about the biochem components of the viruses). 3. Have a group discussion about the video ( This will develop their communication skills and find out what they might have missed and what else others are thinking). All the activities above can be accomplished digitally or in class.
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?
For students who attend the lecture which takes place in a classroom, they will provide their activity results (This can be handwritten form or drawings finished during class or quizzes finished online) directly to teachers so that they will get their feedback as soon as possible be emails. For students who can not attend lectures in the classroom, they will be able to finish the lesson online on a specific platform such as Microsoft Teams by which teachers can also access and view the results and comment below directly using related technologies.
How could the video have been designed to generate more or better activity from viewers or students?
The original video is a bit plain and not very interactive, however, this can be improved by embed some advanced features such as pop-up quizzes after some important knowledge being introduced. It can also be designed to generate some curiosity after every section by showing some relative questions on the screen for students to resonate with ideas and thoughts.
