Thanks for your post! Your group’s approach to designing an interactive learning resource on Alzheimer’s Disease is both timely and impactful, especially given the increasing prevalence of the condition. I appreciate how you acknowledge potential barriers for high school students, particularly the challenge of reading-intensive activities. Your consideration of incorporating videos, diagrams, and labeled images aligns well with Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles, ensuring multiple means of engagement and representation.
One suggestion could be to further integrate interactive elements beyond Kahoot, such as a branching scenario where students make decisions based on patient symptoms. This could deepen engagement while reinforcing learning through application. Additionally, you might explore accessibility features like text-to-speech for lengthy readings, making content even more inclusive.
Your reflection on the “Selective Attention Test” video is insightful, highlighting how learners can easily miss information if instructional methods don’t actively engage them. By continuing to refine your design with varied multimedia, you’re fostering a truly inclusive learning environment. Great work!
