Now Available at TU Delft: Create interactive content on BrightSpace with H5P!

ITAV uses interactive content to activate learners. Their courses are set up Following a flipped classroom approach. In the content, many small self-assessments are integrated so students can see if they understand the content. In case of an incorrect answer students receive feedback and where they can find more information on the subject. By integrating different sorts of H5P content, the page can be transformed from static text to interactive content, that really activates learners.

“Five years ago, the online course TU Write - Report writing was launched on Brightspace. In this e-learning on the requirements for technical reports many H5P-exercises have been incorporated that help students reach their learning goals. Twelve H5P content types have been used that allow students to examine examples, apply their knowledge, and do self-assessments. Using H5P we were able to construct a varied and challenging learning environment. Embedding is easy and the result looks attractive” 

PRIME redesigns 45 courses for 20,000+ students at TU Delft. They use a blended learning format to improve study results, connect mathematics and engineering, and boost student participation and motivation. Prime was interested in H5P for the branching scenario content.  They had a script ready beforehand, so after recording at NewMedia Centre, they quickly finished their video. Their interactive video about ‘Academic reasoning’ is used in many courses. The screenshot shows a small part of the branches and order of the video. Depending on the answer you see a different video. In this scenario, you can only continue to the next question after answering the question correctly (if not you try again). It is also possible to create videos with multiple different endings.

“Creating a branching video on reasoning about true and false statements in linear algebra using H5P was an intuitive and enjoyable process. The process started by shooting the video in one long take at the NewMedia Centre. Then, the video was separated into different parts and added to the intuitive H5P interface. Adding questions with answer options was simple and straightforward. The results have been overwhelmingly positive, with both lecturers and students praising the interactive and engaging experience. Based on this success, we are currently in the process of creating more videos using H5P. We highly recommend H5P for anyone looking to add interactive multimedia to their educational content, as it allows for an additional layer of interactivity to be easily incorporated into a blended course design with minimal effort.”
