Peer-Assessment Activity for video by Yanhong Xi
The assessment criteria is specified here:
Yanhong’s video fulfils all of the criteria that was set out for the assessment. She starts the video with an objective of the lessons which is the discussion on globalisation, with 3rd year students from Oulu University of Applied Sciences Business Administration group. She also states that globalisation is required knowledge for the International Marketing course.
Yanhong gives a brief introduction to the topic of globalisation and divides the students into two groups for group discussion. This method works very well with the students; they are given the task to discuss two questions:
1. What are the benefits of globalisation?
2. What is the criticism of globalisation?
The groups have later summarised their findings to the whole group with comments such as: positive aspect of globalisation is that it benefits international businesses and international companies. It benefits consumers as well as it gives them more choices, and it gives more opportunities in the job market. Yanhong also emphasized that globalisation actually reduces the gap between rich and poor countries. China was given as an example as a country that has increased its wealth in the last 20 years.
The negative aspect of globalisation were summarised as the inequality that can arise from unequal distribution of wealth, contribution to global warming and difficulties for smaller business to compete with larger international companies.
I think that all aspect of assessment in terms of motivation, classroom relations and learning methods were met to a high degree. Also this is demonstrated through the comments from one of the students and her mentor who emphasized also the international nature of the topic and the fact that Yanhong contributed to that very well with her knowledge of the Asian and other markets. She has also summarised the discussion at the end too.
I believe that the materials used for demonstration were to a high standard (the part 2:03 in the video), it is just that I cannot see them in the video so well. So perhaps it is something to improve for the purpose of video making to demonstrate teaching, having the actual video clip or a slide in the video itself.
