Interactive Videos with Optional Grading (H5P)
Are you interested in learning more about how you can integrate interactive video/audio activities into your language teaching practice?
The LLC is excited to announce that you can now make any large media file on our streaming server interactive (and gradable) with H5P on Moodle. H5P is a suite of tools and activities for eLearning that is optimized for accessibility and useability, including the popular and unique Interactive Video tool [https://hSp.org/].
One of the most powerful tools in the suite, the interactive video builder allows you to integrate quiz interactions, overlay content (e.g. images and text), and powerful adaptivity interactions. Quiz elements in an H5P video activity are automatically graded and added to the Moodle gradebook.
In this online workshop you will learn how to create an activity and then practice building your own. The tool is quick to learn and fun to use.
This opportunity is open to all eligible persons regardless of race, sex or other identity.
