Hi Yiyang,

Thank you for the post, I think you did a good job describing both formative and summative assessments, and I do agree that both formative and summative evaluations are diagnostic. Formative and summative assessments are always related to each other when instructors grade students. Moreover, I like the idea of “No diagnostic evaluation is correct scientific evaluation.” On the other hand, I think your blog would be more persuasiveif you add more multimedia elements!

Hello Yiyang, thank you for the post. I think you did a good job describing what we’ve learned in the instructor’s post 1. I personally agree with you on how multimedia is a very interesting subject, it contains both psychology, education, and computer science, etc… As you said, the way of how people learn new things is slowly changing. We moved from the traditional way of teaching to projector teaching. I think it was big progress in the field of education.

Hi Yiyang, thank you for the post. I agree with your idea of the game is a fast and effective way of learning. I personally think that AR and VR will benefit the area of teaching & learning a lot. Students will be motivated to study because AR and VR have so many functions to explore, and instructors will be able to build more on their teaching content with AR and VR technologies. Moreover, I think it will be beneficial if you add some multimedia elements to your post to make it informative.

Hello Yiyang, thank you for your post on active and passive learning. I think you did a great job describing how graphical, time-limited question-and-answer games greatly increase your interest in and motivation for class-related content. Moreover, you embed your making of Kahoot as a teacher, I really appreciate the example of how you set up topics of interesting and unpopular knowledge about Canada to give participants a better understanding of Canada. Correct me if I’m wrong, I think your blog post will be more absorbing if you add the explanation of how people will play the game you invented on Kahoot.

Hi Yiyang, thanks for your post. I think you did a good job of describing the differences between SMAR and TPACK, as well as the video that you edited. Sometimes SAMR can be too many layers, but TPACK on the other hand is pretty clear with the main three sections in the circle. I personally enjoyed the video editing this week as well as you do, and the TPACK model can be very useful when it comes to different learning goals and audiences. Moreover, I wonder if you could add some references to your blog to support more on your point.

Hi Yiyang, thank you for your post on analyzing the idea of the SAMR model. You did a good job introducing what the SAMR model is and who invented it. I agree with your idea that teaching is generally a gradual process from one to one or some knowledge content to other content, and teachers can use The SAMR model to systematically summarize the knowledge points that need to be explained when preparing lessons. However, Could you please add some multimedia elements to your blog post, in that way, I think your content will be easier to learn! Thank you.

Hi Andy, you did a good job summarizing how we should make learners learn the courses more efficiently. I agree with your idea from your reference which the real motivation comes from learning and the best motivation is for students to be able to learn some real-world tasks. Moreover, In my opinion, students should not only study for exams but also apply what they have learned to real-life as much as possible. I wonder if you can give us some examples of your study life which you not only use for exams but also in real life? Thanks

Hi Yiyang, I agree with your thought of poster templates can help students quickly create objects that conform to multimedia learning principles. The importance of conforming to multimedia learning principles and eye-catching titles are also important in the process of making posters. At the same time, the purpose of the poster is that students can understand the method of writing a summary in the most intuitive poster. On the other hand, I wonder if you could add more details like images or a video about how to make an effective poster? Thank you.

Hi Yiyang, I totally agree with the idea of constructivist theory can help teachers teach groups of people in a more efficient way. At the same time, I also think the teacher’s guidance is very important because when students learn from constructional theory, they are likely to encounter difficulties, which makes it important for teachers to guide students. On the other hand, I wonder if different learning theories can apply different learning theories. For example, Behaviorist theory is more suitable for subjects like experimental physics and clinical medicine, etc…
