Can this skill be appropriately depicted in a video model?
This is of lesser importance than the schedules, visual instructions and visual organization cues that you will train the student to use. However, creating a video model of the student using the system in a class with narration that labels each step may be a useful tool. If the student can review this video prior to going to class, he may be more likely to remember and use that system in the following class.
Have you task analyzed this skill to ensure that your video clearly depicts every key step that comprises the skill?
Who will you use as “actors” in this video – will the targeted student be included in the video?
If possible, use the student engaging in the desired sequence of steps in the video. Seeing oneself doing it correctly is strongly associated with improved practice following review.
Will you shoot this video from the perspective of the student (first person) or from the third person perspective?
Will you narrate the video?
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)?
