Phase+Three 

Mohammed Aseri Blended E-learning Summer I 2012

=** Phase #3 Project: Displaying Visual Learners **= toc

__Topic Overview:__
It is clear that students prefer to see the lessons, because it is easier for them to understand it. So for my online lesson, I created some interesting methods. I used pictures, audio, and text explanation associated with each flag. In my online lessons, students will listen, watch, and read simultaneously.

I decided to choose for this lesson Video Blogs and Adventure Learning. I found that video blogs and adventure learning method is a very helpful method to use for my learners. So I know what the students want, and that is something that allows them to visualize the activity. I did some research about this topic, and I came up with interesting factors. Students said that when they visualize the lesson they understand it better. Displaying videos with pictures and sounds help students to understand the lesson in an easier and more convenient way.

__Task__:
There are actually interesting activities that I will be providing in my online lesson in order to help students understand my topic clearly and easily. The design of my lesson would be suitable for students or viewers, and for sure they will like it. In essence, in my online lesson I will provide my students with brief instructions that are going to show them how the lesson is being designed. Also, for comments or feedback I will add my email address to receive any question that a student may have regarding my lesson.

__Process:__
There will be a video for my learners to play and learn. This video contains numerous of pictures. These pictures explain each country that has hosted the world cup around the world. The flags will be organized, so they will appear in order to make it easier for the learners to understand. Viewers can listen and read the information that appear next to the flag at the same time, which is going to help them a lot by understanding the lesson easily.

__Evaluation:__
For this activity students will evaluate themselves by watching the video that I created for them and trying to read the text that is associated with each picture inside the video. I will also evaluate my online lesson by seeing the number of subscribers versus the number of listeners. At the end of my online video I will include my email, in order to communicate with students and to answer the questions that students may have regarding my online lesson.

__Reflection:__
Making an activity like this is useful and helpful for students. As mentioned earlier, the best way to learn something is to visualize it. I have learned a lot from watching a youtube tutorial, because I love to visualize things better than reading static texts or books, and that is what makes me choose Video Blogs and Adventure Learning.
