With Sonru it is possible for the student to keep an online video diary. The online video diary can be used in any subject and is particularly useful as a means of:
Allowing the student to monitor personal development.
A clear means of allowing the student to establish goals monitor progress in achieving these goals and ascertain if he/she has succeeded in meeting these goals when the process is complete.
An excellent way for the teacher to review student’s progress, without having to spend a lot of class time in discussion with the student. An email review message can be sent at the end of the process.
This is a very thorough and effective means of making the student reflect upon their work. As videos are stored the student can easily reflect on an entire years learning and progress.
Effective resource from which students can draw up reports of learning’s.
Excellent means of allowing the student to reflect upon what they are studying, why they are studying it and how it can be of benefit. It also forces the student to establish and reflect upon their strengths and weaknesses.
Below is a suggested timeline of when video interviews can take place to create the video diary.
At the beginning of each Module and/or unit the teacher will discuss with the class the general objective of the unit or module.
After this discussion the teacher will send the students an interview. This first interview will prompt the student to outline their understanding of the work to be carried out in the module and their learning goals and objectives for the module.
Teacher creates short generic interview which can be sent out on a weekly basis. The purpose of this interview is to prompt the student to describe work completed and monitor how goals are being achieved. The teacher can easily send the same interview to the class every week with questions like:
What tasks did you complete this week?
Name 5 things you learned this week?
What was your favourite and least favourite activity?
Did you meet any goals objectives?
Do you feel you discovered any new skills that you may have?
Once the unit Module is complete the teacher will request that the student reviews all previous interviews before going on to complete one final interview.
This interview will prompt the student to think about and impart their views on what was learned, were learning goals and objectives met, how they feel they have developed as a student, have they discovered any previously unknown aptitudes or interests.
These files can be viewed at any time as part of student/teacher reflection.
