Media Presentation on Video

We had a great discussion on 4 forums of media that are used in instructions: still photo, audio, video, and text. I was part of the audio only group and I was frustrated at hearing instructions saw 'put your finger here' or 'fold here while...'. When we came back to class and I had a chance to go make a lotus flower with the written text and still photos it was SO much easier. It is a fact that individuals learn differently, and I might add that maybe the activity might dictate what media or combination of media to use. If video or audio is used, it is helpful to have the ability to pause and rewind the instruction so the learner does not get behind or miss a step. It was helpful to consider how different learners learn from each of these media or the combination of them.
