Interactive Learning Resource Topic: Chat GPT for Research/ https://learngpt.notion.site/ChatGPT-for-Research-deb54a630e994b14a8a18c9a6465963e

Identify components of the Interactive Learning Resource that might be missing (e.g., appropriate outcomes, alignment, interactivity, inclusivity, technology use and rationale, presentation, grammar, spelling, citations, etc.).

Provide a summary of The Interactive Learning Resource’s strengths and weaknesses. Draw out specific examples from your peers’ work to justify your feedback.

Provide general, specific, and practical recommendations to your peers on improving their Interactive Learning Resources.

1. Students are required to watch the video, understand, state, and summarize the views expressed by the author in the video, and express their own views. Since youtube is a video service provider, students can only react by watching the video.

2. While watching the video, students will think about it, take notes on some important points, and even reflect on whether they have similar situations in their lives and how to deal with them when they encounter them.

3. I would advise them to reflect on the current topic after watching the video, summarize, and complete the exams and exercises.

4. Opening the link we posted on Google Classroom and watching the YouTube video will help students acquire the skills of summarization, and thinking and improve their English listening comprehension. Also, gain knowledge of literal definitions and a deeper understanding of concepts. After watching the video, they will take quizzes and practice through Google Classroom.

5. Feedback on students’ results will be published on Google Classroom. I need to read the reflections and summaries of this video posted by students. In addition, consider what topics can deepen students’ understanding of this chapter and conceive and publish related exercises to Google Classroom. The value of this work is to deepen students’ memory of knowledge through practice questions, and to ensure that students have done exercises through the attendance rate on the Google Classroom. Google Classrooms can accommodate as many people as possible and ensure that everyone can participate in the teaching program.

6. The design of the video first requires a complete framework. We have to first think about what we want students to learn. Second, mention all subheadings. Thus, explain all the sub-headings in detail, emphasize the content that we hope students can understand, and illustrate the knowledge with examples to facilitate students’ understanding.

7. Youtube videos provide translation functions and font enlargement functions for students from different countries, and provide convenience for students with visual or language impairments. The video has two functions of volume and view, which can meet the needs of students who cannot do both simultaneously. When students cannot see the subtitles, listening to the video can also help students acquire knowledge.

• Through the functions of Google documents, speech recognition, translation, and online interaction with tutors, non-native English learners could free their hands, eliminate the knowledge barriers brought about by the text presentation medium, and solve difficulties that they couldn’t check out the learning resources promptly.
• Google documents and screen recordings could be good solutions to the problem that teachers wouldn’t teach synchronously. Any student who opened the document at any time could see the latest information released by the professor.
• Using a sub-topic I provided, some students might have little exposure to macroeconomic knowledge and had no reserves of economic knowledge so they couldn’t understand knowledge such as diminishing marginal effects presented on the labor demand&supply graph. At this time, I would use more articles and videos to present students more comprehensively. And use examples to let students consider how different employment environments affect employment rates and real wages when students themselves are in the labor market.
• First of all, my interactive learning resources will eliminate the obstacles in the design as much as possible and improve and perfect the learners’ learning experience to the greatest extent. We are committed to enabling all learners in the course to learn asynchronously, so we will set up a Google document at the beginning of the course so that all learners can receive updates from teachers and students on the document as soon as they open it. In addition, considering that some students might not be able to use computers to open files, we will try to upload Google documents on every platform where courses are published, so as to ensure that students can use any other small electronic devices with small memory to open and read it. In addition, my interactive learning resources must be presented differently for each language. For example, a one-click translation to any language you want to choose. The translation feature was functionally helpful for some students who were not native speakers. For example, some knowledge can help students better understand the definition and usage of knowledge in their accustomed language. Speech recognition is provided for the convenience of all students. For example, some students couldn’t type with their hands when visiting web pages. At this time, voice recognition can provide the greatest convenience in time and space, so that students can free their hands. The online interaction mode is designed to minimize the limitations of the text medium to the greatest extent when students access learning resources and encounter incomprehensible content, online interaction with professors, or highly educated learners.
• Elevators were originally designed to accommodate wheelchair users. It is no doubt that it brought convenience to cyclists, people with disabilities, or people who are unwell. The most worth mentioning is the people who are moving. Because they live on a higher floor, direct elevator transport of large pieces of furniture reduces manpower, material resources, and time costs. The use of Google Documents was to take advantage of this, for students and teachers to find the latest information on learning resources. It would be convenient for them to update their dynamics and ideas frequently. They don’t need to move their updated content to the latest document multiple times.
