Hi JD,

I think you explained your experiences with Khan Academy very well, as well as the shift of relevance the further advanced classes became. Your point about motivation decreasing when the material no longer matches your more advanced needs makes lots of sense. I thought your idea about the platform spreading itself thin instead of fully developing certain subjects is a really thoughtful critique.

Hi Manveen!

I really liked how clearly you explained the purpose of the probability video and how it fits into your ILR. Your point about using the video as an introduction before hands‑on activities came through really well, especially when you connected it to empirical vs. theoretical probability .

I also appreciated how you highlighted the thinking work students naturally do while watching, like making predictions and connecting examples to prior knowledge ! That’s such an important part of interaction that often gets overlooked.

Your “Heads or Tails: Is it 50:50?” activity is a great follow‑up. I liked how you emphasized that real‑world results don’t always match expectations

Hi Bryan,

I really liked how you used your CIVE 299 example to show why designing for an “average learner” doesn’t actually work in real classrooms. Your point about the gorilla video was also super effective. It really highlights how differently people process the same form of content.

Your suggestions for breaking activities into smaller sections and adding quick check‑ins felt practical and learner‑friendly.
