Accroding to my interactive learning design, I would like to recommend a Youtube video which is about helping learners to understand what sketchnoting is.
- What kind of interaction would the video require from your students? Does it force them to respond in some way (inherent)?
The video gives students an overview of how to use sketchnoting flexibly, even though the information they receive is the same, each student will use their own way of expression to present their own sketchnote according to their different ways of thinking. Because sketchnoting is very formative, it does not force learners to respond themselves in a certain way.
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?
Because the information shown in a sketch is straightforward and the composition of sketchnote is variable. Therefore, when students are under pressure, this method allows them to focus more quickly on their assignment or work, and makes it easier for learners to extract information. So I suggest that learners can choose videos or readings that they are interested in, and assess themselves’s mastery of this learning method by sorting out the information. It is not only more convenient for learners to understand, but also a more systematic understanding of this part of knowledge through this learning activity. On the other hand, the learners will develop a more organized way of thinking,
3. How much work for you would that activity cause? Would the work be both manageable and worthwhile? Could the activity be scaled for larger numbers of students?
This does not give me too much work, because my task is to communicate the method, and make sure learners know how to use this method. It is up to the learners to think about how to use it, and I should not impose my own ideas on the form of expression of the sketches for them. The only thing I need to do is to give sensible suggestions on the content to make the students’ sketches clearer. And this method is very worthy of spreading for lager numbers of students because of the reason I have mentioned before.
4. How will you address any potential barriers for your learners in the use of this video to ensure an inclusive design?
A sketch ensures that it is inclusive and diverse. For example, when English language learners (ELL) are faced with something they are confused about, ELL can take temporary note in his mother tongue and make special marks to ensure that he can go back to the mark and figure it out after finishing the sketch.
