Impressions of the Jasper Series
Feb 11th, 2009 by Steffanie Reid
After browsing the Jasper Series T.E.L.E. I’m left with a few thoughts. I like how video is incorporated with the math/physics questions as a way to help the students connect their learning with real-life situations. It’s always good to help students see the relevance in what they’re learning and the series does this well. My concerns are that the videos are small, which may annoy the students who are becoming more demanding with the prevalence of HD video. Also, a lot of distractor values seem to be incorporated into the narrative of the videos, causing unnecessary confusion.
