A student wants to teach a friend how to sew. Which type of medium should the student use?(1 point) Responses text text video video photo photo audio recording
For teaching a hands-on skill like sewing, the most effective medium would likely be:
- video
A video medium is ideal because it allows the student to demonstrate the steps in the sewing process visually and audibly. The friend can see how to hold the needle, create stitches, and handle the fabric, which can be more difficult to grasp through text, photos, or audio alone. Video instruction can provide a comprehensive learning experience similar to an in-person demonstration.
