Abstract:

A challenge most educators are faced with is increasing student engagement. This challenge seems to be magnified recently as students engage with short form content on social media. This presentation introduces a tool called H5P which is designed to increase engagement and retention of material through interactive content. H5P has a wide variety of tools that can be implemented, meeting various educational needs.

In this presentation we will explore what H5P is, how and when to use it. We will also discuss the impact H5P has on student engagement and learning outcomes. Through demonstrations and examples, participants will see how H5P can transform passive content into interactive activities.  Additionally, we will explore resources that will help get you started when designing your own H5P content.

By the end of this session, participants will have the knowledge to select the right H5P content types that fit their learners needs and begin creating their own engaging interactive learning experiences.

Registration is required (see below) as we have limited seats available.
