Best practices and resources for creating and adapting tutorials and learning objects for library colleagues

Getting Started

There's a variety of ways to determine which H5P activities best fit your learning outcomes and instructional design. This page will walk you through a few ways of approaching it.

  • Tools that focus on Feedback: This spreadsheet created by H5P PB Ktichen provides a list of basic content types with feedback along with information on how granular the feedback can be and additional notes. 
  • Simple/Easy, Moderate, Advanced/Complex: The chart (see below) has organized the content types based on level of difficulty for the creator and level of cognitive effort for the learner. This can be a helpful approach if you are just looking for a quick way for students to test their knowledge or want options for developing a longer form module.
  • Content Type: H5P Content Type Chart created by DurhamTechWiki - This approach is content based and allows you to narrow down to content types based on format such as, text, images, multimedia, or questioning. 

Simple/Easy, Moderate, Advanced/Complex

This chart is from the H5P PB Kitchen and is based off content by Ng and Rekhari (2018) “H5P Active Learning Guide” which organized H5P content types by categories of “Easy”, “Moderate”, and “Advanced.” This reflected the level of difficulty to create with the tools (but they offered no criteria for placing in categories). The H5P PB Kitchen has used a similar three level organization that reflects both level of difficulty in creating and in level of cognitive effort for the learner. They note that some tools, e.g. Course Presentation, Interactive Video, Quiz Set, and I would add Essay, could move into the Advanced/Complex column depending on how extensively the tool is used. --From Organizing the H5P Utensil Drawer
