At first, I also wanted to mention my doubts about effectiveness of this life saving video. It is a theory, introduction, but a learner needs to practice it. When Justyna mentioned a doll in her post, I thought that really numerous practice would do much better than a video. However, judging by the context of my country where such videos are new, and even a curiosity coupled with coronovius limiting live communication everywhere, these videos should be used as an introduction to the important procedure of artificial breathing. Then when such videos become ubiquitous, maybe more advanced apps could be developed. I agree with many of my coursemates that this life saving video is stressful. I could answer only 8/25 and got 33% , and the app said I need to do it again. The comments "The way you do it now means that the life of this person will not be saved" are really harsh. Elderly people with poor eysight and hearing as well as arthritis would have problems pressing 2 keys 30 times at a certain speed.
Post-reflection: These apps are designed for a particular group of people who are interested in computers and who like such type of learning. These apps will continue to develop, and education will only benefit from it.
