EDCI Blog Post 4

For this post I decided to use the following video which outlines whether you should choose steel or timber to frame your home with:

In summary, this video breifly outlines some advantages and disadvantages to using timber and steel frames.

1. This video does not force interaction in any way, however, if I were to include it in my course, I would ask the learner to describe, in their own words, some advantages and disadvantages to using both steel and timber for framing a home.
2. I would expect the learner to respond to the video by taking notes on the advantages and disadvantages of both materials.
3. I would suggest that the learner does what i’ve noted above, and also give a critical opinion of their own of why they think steel is better than timber or visa versa.
4. To give feedback, I would first construct a quiz that tests their knowledge on the material from the video, and than the quiz would automatically give a response on whether they were correct or not.

6. This video could include some more interactive activity like wording suh as “what do you think about these advantages, can you think of any more?” Or “how would you decide on when to use steel or timber?”
