CITL has set-up a hosted version of H5P! What is H5P? It’s an open source tool that provides access to templates you can customize to build interactive content such as question sets, timelines, drag and drop exercises, hot-spot diagrams and so much more. https://blog.citl.mun.ca/technologyresources/other-edtech/h5p-interactive-content/
In honour of Open Education Week, CITL is hosting another H5P maker-session on March 4 from 10:30am -12pm in the Teaching and Learning Exchange (TLX – Education 1001). The session will start with an overview of the tool(about 30 minutes), followed by time for guided creation. CITL’s design team will be available during the session to provide assistance through the whole process; concept to creation.
Please register in advance so we can set-up your personal H5P space where you can begin to build or import H5P objects and interactive content to embed in your course site.
