H5P, Make Activity More Interactive!

The key word this time is INTERACTION. The website I want to share is H5P! The link is here.💖

🏃Introduction

Teaching or learning a foreign language is a constant exchange of information and teachers need to create a variety of opportunities for interaction in and out of the classroom. Thanks to the development of the Internet, even under the influence of COVID-19, teachers can still use various tools to interact with students through online teaching and H5P is one of the best.

H5P is an open source tool based on cloud network, which allows people to create HTML5 e-learning content and publish it to popular platforms such as WordPress, Moodle, Drupal and so on.

🏃How to use H5P?

This video explains it in detail! Enjoy!

🏃Advantages

• Easy to use 

There is no required technical skills while using. The tutorials associated with each activity design in H5P make it simple for many people to get started designing, greatly lowering the barrier to use.

• A wide range of interactive e-learning activities

H5P provides users with over 30 activity types to choose from. Everyone can find a design template that suits their classroom content and interaction mode, such as Flashcards (answer questions while looking at pictures) and Audio Recorder (which can be used to check students' pronunciation and practice their speaking skills).

• Is Mobile - friendly

H5P can be easily operated on mobile phones not just on computers.

• Allow collaboration

Encouraging students to collaborate in and out of the classroom stimulating their inspiration of learning. Meanwhile, H5P could promote interaction among students ( also the interaction between teacher and students).

• Instant feedback

In many activities, taking Flashcards as an example, students can get feedback immediately after answering the question (i.e. whether the answer is correct or not), without waiting for teacher's correction (which sometimes could be time-consuming). This, in a sense, improves the efficiency of teaching.

🏃Limitations

• The privacy setting of H5P determines that all activities designed by users are visible to the public. Maybe some people will think it is not acceptable.

• It is only free for one month! People need to pay for the service if wish to continue using H5P to design activities.

All in all, H5P is worth trying, so what are you waiting for?💪
