Interactive Video

Of the H5P suite, this is perhaps the most intriguing one for me.  Perhaps in part as I believe that media integration in teaching is important, but that having students interact with media is such a powerful way to use video.  One of my recent favorites is Spiral https://spiral.ac/ and the Clip app in it allows for synchronous use of videos and for students to live comment on video as it is being played and for questions (e.g., multiple choice) to be embedded in places.  Importantly it also does not require students to divulge any personal information.

Moving to H5P,  it has a number of ways it can be used.  We know that attention spans for most media is quite short and video is no different.  Thus for smaller chunks or videos (a few minutes max perhaps), H5P has some interesting ways to create learning objects.  In it, questions types are put on top of the video.

I have taken a video my wife had created  and which is hosted on Youtube as a sample to work with and will …. tinker with the options.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3_ujD53aL8

Tomorrow – I will dig deeper into it, but here is a very quick and rough stab – notable is how quickly I was able to do this – perhaps 10 minutes.
