Platform Rationale 

     I selected YouTube for my sleeping‑bag instructional video because the platform is designed for clear, step‑by‑step educational content and supports strong visual composition. It also aligns with course objectives by demonstrating effective use of digital media tools within an appropriate communication context. Research supports this choice. According to the Pew Research Center, YouTube is a widely used platform for learning new skills (Pew Research Center, 2018), making it ideal for instructional content.
