Kitchen Tips and Tricks: Cooking and Spicing Up OERs with H5P Online
The Centre for Teaching and Learning's OEP Program invites you to a webinar by Alan Levine, Director of Innovation and Community Engagement at Open Education Global.
Abstract:
Using the metaphor of cooking, Open Educational Resources (OER) can be thought of as fine meals, but how can you make them maybe even better? Come for a tasting from the H5P Kitchen project (https://kitchen.opened.ca/), a tool for adding interactive practice activities to your OERs, ideally to reinforce learning through hands on activities. H5P is not tied to a single platform, what you produce is web-standard content that can be exported, shared, and remixed for use elsewhere including Pressbooks and learning management systems. You will discover how to find examples of H5P used in your discipline to give you ideas for what is possible, see some clever recipes created by other educators, and learn from a few tips and techniques that you do not find in the usual listing of tools.
Registration is required (see below). The Zoom link will be included in the confirmation email.
