Let’s look at some examples of how H5P has been used and think about new ways we can use the various content types!
The first few examples were made by students as assessment items.
This image hotspot was an assignment submission. Students were to choose 2 readings and two or more supplementary resources (video/blog/game, etc.), and create a response that first explains what ‘hegemony’ means, and then speaks to and demonstrates what they learned about the hegemony of game culture specifically, and some of the ways its boundaries are created, sustained and (possibly) changed. Some options that were given in the assignment criteria were: make a podcast, create a poster or powerpoint, make/modify a game, construct a poem, write a short story—multi-sensoriality was strongly encouraged for this assignment. Note: a complete references list is provided on the website (https://rollforgameology.trubox.ca/ip-5/). Check out their game:
The second image hotspot was also an assignment submission, students were to complete Exercise 2.1: Think of a Game from Fullerton’s Game Design Workshop. Student’s were to think of a game and write down it’s description, think of a second game that was completely different from the first and write down it’s description and compare the differences and similarities between the two games. Take a look and see what the student came up with!
This image sequencing example comes from H5P’s Examples and Downloads page. The image sequencing content type allows you to add a sequence of your own images (and optional image description) to the game in a particular order. The order of the images will be randomized and players will have to reorder them based on the task description. Check some other examples out at: https://h5p.org/content-types/image-sequencing
The next two examples were created for a Grade 10 Career Education class. Take a look at the interactive video and branching scenario! These were fun to make and it was reported back that they were enjoyed by the students. Note: The videos in the branching scenario star myself and my daughter Dale, we made the rookie mistake of chatting to each other and not the camera!!!
The final example was made for fun! Melanie has allergies and was tired of everyone thinking she was sick so she made a set of flashcards to educate her friends on plagues and pollen. The flashcards were also used as a review game by a colleague of hers for his biology class. The students loved it!
