Through the educational video, it was my chance to gain more experiences that can challenged for my creativity and technical skills. In this assignment, the educational video was a key lesson that I could combined some important concepts from the previous modules we learned in the past days. The content I chose for my video was to teach how to wear contact lens, and this decision was also a chance to use my life experiences to finish this assignment.

Here is the link for my video:

Reflection questions:

What is the learning purpose of your video?

The learning purpose of this video is focus on how to wear contact lenses, to provide comprehensive and clear instructions for the people who are first-time contact lenses wearers or those people who need a proper usage process. This video is to give the people who are seeking help with contact lens, when i was trying to wear my lens for the first time, i had difficulties to put it on, then i would help and also ensure that they understand the caring process.

Which of the principles we’ve covered this term (e.g., Mayer/Universal Design for Learning/Cognitive Load Theory) did you incorporate into your design and why?

In my video, I connected my content with one of Mayer’s cognitive load theory, modality. For this concept, the video displays a multimedia format that suits the content, and it is effective to represents graphics and structure of the content i demonstrated through the video. The modality principle that can be an important representation for the learners to gain more learning experiences and make it easier for the learners, which emphasize the importance of thoughtful multimedia integration to ensure that learners are understanding the materials and contents.

limited capacity from Mayer’s cognitive load theory, this concept is being used in the video, the information our brains received is limited, which means the ability of the amount of information we receive should not over the limit.

Also, the signaling principle was the one i incorporated into my video. In the video, i had some clips and combined them together into a full video, this method can make the video in a proper duration and clear structured. Use the subheadings is the key for the learners, to save their time and receive the information effectively.

What was challenging about capturing your own video?

In this video assignment, one of the challenges i encountered was the video quality issue. When i was shooting the video, sometimes the camera was not focus which made the video become very blurry, so i had to redo it to ensure the quality was in good condition. My hand should not shake, should always focus to make a good video. The another challenge i encountered would be speaking while i was filming, i had to memorize the script and demonstrated the process at the same time, however, those are the only problems i’ve had during the assignment.

What did you find easiest?

The easiest part of this video assignment would be the script writing, the preparation of the items i need in the video. I was feeling confident about those two things.

How would you approach capturing video differently next time?

In the next video assignment, i would spend more time on the video structure and make it more clear. The clear structure would create a better content and better visual demonstration than this time. Also, i will ensure that i show myself more in the video, to record a better quality video assignment.

Script

First: Hello everyone, this is my edci 337 assignment.  today I’m teaching you guys how to wear contact lenses.

second: so, the first step is to your hands, make sure your hands are clean and dry.

third: and, wipe our hands with the paper towel

fourth: after i washed my hands, the next step is to get your lenses ready, check the lens is in good condition or not.

Fifth: so we open it, you see the lens is not damaged, so we can use it.

Sixth: Then use the mirror to help you to see what you are doing

Seventh: right now we are ready to insert the lens into our eye, so let’s take it out.

Eighth: blink a few times to feel it’s good or not

Ninth: final step, if there’s any air bubbles under the lens, gently move the lens with your finger, like this to remove the air bubbles. We are done for wearing the contact lenses, we can repeat the same steps for the other eye. Thank you for watching.
