An instructional video I plan on using within my lessons was found on YouTube, called “How to swing a golf club: 5 steps for beginners” on the golf.com channel. This video is a short 4-minute video which provides insightful and to the point teachings, which when paired with hands on learning and an in-person instructor, students have the opportunity to use a variety of learning methods to improve their golf swing. 


This will require active participation from learners as they will only get the most out of the video if they pay attention and follow the step-by-step prompts given. These step-by-step instructions advise experimental learning as students should try to mimic movements shown in the video. Learners will likely respond by taking notes of each step, and where their difficulties lie within these steps. This will allow the learners to think critically about what they are watching and relate it to their own learning journey. After watching the video, I would suggest learners to incorporate what they had learned into a session at the range to put the new steps into use. This will allow learners to engrain the information into their muscle memory, as well as find any faults in their swing which may be improved by breaking it down to the steps provided in the video. Learners will get direct feedback from this activity as they will be able to see what works for them by the outcome of their ball flightpath, distance, and accuracy. Instructors can then provide instant constructive feedback to help them closely follow the information provided and add to it with their own ideas. This activity would decrease the amount of work for the instructor as it provides the framework of the lesson, and the instructor merely needs to enforce the information from the video and assist learners with their hands on experience. Providing closed captions of the video and offering one on one instructional time with students can help address potential learning barriers and incorporate an inclusive design. 

The integration of different mediums such as videos can be extremely beneficial to learners with different learning styles and introduce a variety of ideas which can add to the instructors teaching plans.
