The Dali Project - A Multimodal Research Platform

This is the video that Mike and I collaborated on for our Reasearch Platform. This was a great experience. I think it is very important to incorporate multimodal learning into our instruction and assessment. It gives students multiple ways to learn and apply this learning to demonstrate their understanding of course content. As well, it is congruent with many of the core principles we have learned thus far in our education program - we should include a variety of evaluation methods and use differentiated instruction so that students are most likely to achieve success. Not all students learn the same way, at the same rate, and represent their learning the same. Variety is the spice of life! My thanks to Mike for patiently taking me through the editing process. This marks the first time that I was able to edit a video!

Thanks for the laughs and the learning. I am always amazed and surprised at what other members of the cohort are capable of. You guys were great.

You two have quite a good knack for making these videos. They would be great in the classroom for students to watch and even participate and make their own. I think it would help them stay very interested in whatever project they do.

Thanks for the input Sara C and Trevor. It is great to know that you both enjoyed the videos Mike and I made. Trevor, I agree with you 100%. I am going to try using videos in my next practicum.
