For our Interactive Learning Design, our group found a video on YouTube called What is coding as an introduction of coding. K12 student will have a basic understanding of coding, how we need coding in our life, how does coding work and what does the programmer need to do. To interact with K12 students during this video online might be challenging, but I will provide some activities that will suit the COVID-19 situation.

In class, we will ask students and teachers to broadcast live classes through ZOOM. During the class, the teacher will share the screen with students and watch the video through the teacher’s screen. The teacher will pause the video to emphasize and explain important video contents. The teacher will also randomly ask questions to ensure that students are paying attention to the class. If one student cannot answer, he/she will ask another student to answer. After getting the correct answer, the students who have not answered the question before will answer it again according to their own understanding.

We hope students can ask questions after watching the video. By default, the teacher will mute students’ microphone, but when the video ends, the teacher will turn on the students’ microphone and let them ask questions.

After the teacher assigns the task, students need to submit the assignment through our forum. The teacher will explain the task requirement and instruction in detail during the video conference, and describe it again in the forum through text. After students are divided into groups, they can hang up the video conference. Each group can discuss according to the video materials and instruction of the topic, and complete the task. The teacher will receive assignments in the forum and give feedback and score within a week. But before that, students need to do peer-review to evaluate at least one tasks from other groups.

In my opinion, the teacher’s workload will be excessive. Answering questions and explaining the course will be conducted in a video conference. However, due to the delay of video conferences and possible situations, the Q&A session may take a relatively long time. For writing evaluations, students will be conducted in groups of 3-4 people, so the teacher does not need to evaluate each student. However, because students also need to discuss remotely, the teacher will need to solve some technical problems in the middle as well. ROY MAO ‘s post also includes that teachers’ workload will be increased base on online activities. Therefore, I think 30-40 people will be more suitable for a class. This way the teacher can give feedback to all groups within a week.
