    • Empower your students through H5P

      Just a bit of background first, if you want to know more about H5P:

    • Why should I ask my students to build their own H5P activities?

      1. Students get to take ownership of their content
      2. They can add the content to their portfolio to demonstrate graduate attibutes
      3. They create activities or assessment questions that you may be able to reuse: it’s a way to understand what type of learning activities they enjoy, too.
      4. Students have fun creating content!

      By doing so, you are changing the learning activity design from one (teacher) to many (students) towards many (students) to many (students), therefore enriching their learning experience.

      How do I set it up?

      1. You build a sub-course (or separate course)

        The sub-course acts as an activity design lab

      2. You give students permissions to create H5P content and add/access content bank from H5P in this subcourse.

      3. You give instructions for the activity in the ‘main’ course page.

      4. The students create H5P activities as directed , in the sub-course which are stored int he content bank.

      5. In the ‘main course’ the students  post the link to their activity into a Glossary or Database or, with ‘embed’ permissions, to a forum.

      Possible peer-review / grading criteria

      • Clarity if content produced
      • Content accuracy
      • Alignment with LO (on topic)
      • Graphic/activity relevance
      • Layout of activity / presentation
      • Accessibility + credits and references (if applicable)
      • Enhances the knowledge/skills of users undertaking the activity
      • Originality / human touch /humour (bonus points?)
