Showcase of Creative Approaches In OER
Composite Activities – “Finding the Error”
Jennifer L. Lapum, Margaret Verkuyl, Wendy Garcia, Oona St-Amant, and Andy Tan
In the following activities, the authors combine three H5P tools to invite students to engage: the juxtaposition tool, the fill-in-the-gaps tool, and the accordion tool. The textbook includes a number of “finding the error” activities that follow this basic format, a design decision that establishes a productive rhythm for learners returning to the text each week.
These examples appear in in Vital Sign Measurement Across the Lifespan – 2nd Canadian Edition by Jennifer L. Lapum, Margaret Verkuyl, Wendy Garcia, Oona St-Amant, and Andy Tan (Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License).

Now you have an opportunity to find errors in measurement techniques. The first activity involves watching a short film clip.
What error in technique is this healthcare provider making while measuring oxygen saturation in Film clip 4.1?
