Tool 6: H5P interactive video https://h5p.org/content-types-and-applications

In-Class Instruction: Sunita gave us a walkthrough of the overall application of the H5P. She then demonstrated how to use the interactive video feature of H5P. She showed different ways we can include questions in between videos, making them more interactive while also acting as a diagnostic tool to test the understanding of the students or the attention of the students.

After-Class: I created an account on H5P to try my hands on creating an interactive video. There are different examples pertaining to the different existing templates available for creation and as such. I uploaded a fitness video and added a multiple-choice question in the video as shown in image 1.

Pros of the tool :

• It has different elements that can be used for creating interactive videos or activities.

• It has easy integration and platform use with different LMS.

• Has example demonstration and easy to follow instructions to use.

Cons of the tool :

• It is not an open-source tool that could have benefitted students. The trial only lasts for 30 days after activation

• The UI interface is not very user-friendly. Whenever we select an option, it jumps to the end of the page making it difficult to keep track of the changes.
