H5P Activities for Summative and Formative Assessment in Online and Web-Enhanced Courses

Wednesday 1:30pm-4:00pm SERC Building - 234
Afternoon Mini Workshop

Leader

Allison Jones, Sierra College

Participants will learn about the H5P interactive activity tool, how to find existing and develop their own free interactive H5P activities, how to embed H5P as formative assessments in their learning management system (or any webpage), and how to leverage H5P as summative assessments using LibreText's ADAPT homework systems. We will discuss which H5P activities are fully accessible and which can be made accessible with workarounds. Participants will leave the workshop with H5P as a valuable assessment tool in their educator toolkit. Participants will need to bring a computer and be connected to the internet.
