The framework I have develped for learning resources offers a layered structure to support learners through different phases of learning.
Introductory: a passive, observational phase where the learner gains an overview of what is to be done and is introduced to any key skills or strategies.
Guidance: an active, participatory phase where the learner is guided step by step through the basic process and gains an understanding of any common errors.
Development: repetition is necessary to gain mastery of the skill and this is supported by encouraging the learner to evaluate their outcome, identify and solve problems, and offering them a greater depth of material to explore.
Video remains an important medium but is mostly used in the first and last phases; for contextualising each stage of the process and for more advanced learning where the learner has the ability to form their own interpretation.
In the central phase still images, in particular line drawings, are key to providing the interpretation necessary for learners to engage with the activity. The step by step guidance provides the bridges for the novice to start to tap into the skills of the expert and learn to read moving images, whether live demonstration or video, for themselves.
