Can this skill be appropriately depicted in a video model?
Some of the key components of this topic can be depicted in video models including stopping at a closed door, knocking and waiting for a response, or verbalizing the interruption with appropriate tone, volume, and body language.
Have you task analyzed this skill to ensure that your video clearly depicts every key step that comprises the skill?
Will you shoot this video from the perspective of the student (first person) or from the third person perspective?
Consider what perspective would benefit the student more, depending on the precise context and behavior you seek to depict. You may wish to shoot third-person in order to capture a student reacting to an emergency situation, arriving at a closed door, or approaching a group of coworkers engaged in a conversation during their break.
Will you narrate the video?
One suggestion is to have the student narrate the video during recording if this is appropriate and within his capacity to do so. For example, the student could have a script that includes speaking his inner thoughts out loud. As he approaches a coworker to request help moving boxes, the student actor may say, “He is drinking water by the cooler, leaning against the wall, and alone. He is not busy. I can ask him for help.”
How will you ensure that the student experiences opportunities to not only review the skill via the video model, but to also engage in repeated rehearsal of the skill across multiple contexts?
Will the student be able to review the video just prior to expected performance of that skill (priming)?
