Session3:Digital Narrative

Topic：阿蛋学粤语 Learning Cantonese with Nancy

Target audience: Non Cantonese Speakers Who Want to Learn Cantonese.

>>>Reflection on the development of the video:

The production of this video followed the ADDIE modle:

Analyze: 
Based on the awkward situations non-local students in HK often come across, we chose "Learning Cantonese" as our topic. There is the need of learning Cantonese for daily use among those who are mot familiar with Cantonese.

Design: 
Inspired by the interesting narrative format of net drama "万万没想到", we agreed the combination of real situation and instruction would make the learning material more engaging. We chose 4 scenario and common conversations, then created the script, which functions as our schedule. 

Develop: 
We divided the process of develop into scenario shooting, instruction animation producing and subtitle adding. At last we combined the work together and re-edit the work such as adding background music and titles. The develop procedure was clear to follow. 
There were difficulties when we develop the video. For example, in a noisy condition, it was hard to record the voice, which required us to recorded the voice separately and added it afterward. However,  it is every member's devotion that contributed to the completed work.

Implementation:
We invited 7 non-Cantonese students in our class to watch this video to learning Cantonese and collect their feedbacks.Here is the link of the survey: http://cn.mikecrm.com/RpGTY10http://cn.mikecrm.com/RpGTY10

Evaluation:
Here is the results of the survey:

As we can see from the results, this video suits the necessary of non-Cantonese speakers. This kind of funny learning resources is beneficial to engage learners into learning and helpful for students to start to learn Cantonses. However, the quality of sound can be improved.  

What can be improved:
We found that there were some mistakes in subtitles and explanation part. For improvement,  we can pay more attention the accuracy of content. Also, the feedback reflected that the fluency of the video can be refined.

Angel's reflection:

The ADDIE model can only function as the general guideline, a clear and detailed schedule is necessary.

When making an educational video, we should not only play the role of instructor, we also have to consider the issue from the viewpoint of learners. That help us to create the really needed and engaging learning content

Frances's reflection:

1. The development of the video:

The ADDIE Model is an instructional design framework with a descriptive guideline to use in building effective training or making teaching materials. But, different people would have different understanding, there were sometimes that members showed their different opinions.  Luckily that we have reached a conclusion for "Learning Cantonese" as our topic.

2. What I learnt through the process:
Through this practice, we had a good lesson of how to collaborate as we hold the same goal to fulfill our task, our group members "share alternate views, construct new understandings and develop empathy with others". Through this practice, not only my skill on problem solving, ICT capability and collaboration got enhance but also learnt how to use IT tool by self-directed learning.
This is my first digital video participated into the production process. It is luck of me to join a friendly and energetic team who are willing to share, help and listen to any suggestions, even though I have no experience in video making. The distribution of works is clear (special thanks to our video Directors: Fan and Angel) so the whole activity went on very smoothly (thanks also to our Protagonists: Nancy and Ronald). Although, I was only responsible for writing dialogues, it’s simple but meaningful.  It took me sometime to familiarize myself with the functions of this tool through operating as well as to realize the whole production process of a video making.
