In the rapidly evolving landscape of educational technology, tools that enhance student engagement and interaction are crucial for effective learning. This presentation explores the innovative use of H5P, a versatile and interactive content creation tool, to maximize student engagement and interaction with educational materials. By leveraging the capabilities of H5P and its AI-driven feature, Smart Import, educators can create dynamic, interactive learning experiences that align with Bloom's taxonomy and optimize both student outcomes and instructional efficiency. H5P: Transforming Educational Content H5P offers a wide range of interactive content types, from quizzes and interactive videos to presentations, simulations, game-play boards, and 360-degree immersive virtual tours. Its user-friendly interface allows educators to create engaging content that captures students' attention, fosters active learning, and provides opportunities for students to practice content and skills through formative assessments. This presentation will demonstrate how to effectively use various H5P content types to enhance student interaction and engagement, providing practical examples and best practices. Integrating AI with H5P: The Role of Smart Import A significant innovation within H5P is the integration of AI tools, particularly Smart Import. Smart Import utilizes artificial intelligence to streamline the content creation process, allowing educators to efficiently generate interactive activities from existing educational materials. By automating routine tasks, Smart Import frees up educators' time, enabling them to focus on more creative and pedagogically valuable aspects of course design. This session will showcase how Smart Import can be used to transform static content into dynamic, interactive learning experiences, illustrating the tangible benefits of AI integration in educational technology. Building High-Quality Interactions Aligned with Bloom's Taxonomy A key focus of this presentation is the alignment of interactive content with Bloom's taxonomy. By designing activities that address different levels of cognitive processes— ranging from basic recall to complex analysis and creation— educators can ensure that students develop a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter. We will provide strategies for creating H5P content that targets various levels of Bloom's taxonomy, enhancing both the depth and breadth of student learning. Effective Time Management and Instructional Quality The integration of AI tools not only enhances student engagement but also allows educators to manage their time more effectively. By automating repetitive tasks and facilitating the rapid development of interactive content, AI tools enable educators to dedicate more time to personalized instruction and meaningful student interactions. This presentation will offer insights into how educators can balance the use of technology with traditional teaching methods to achieve optimal instructional quality and student outcomes. Interactivity for Participants We will demonstrate the use of Smart Import and other creative uses for H5P through live demonstration during the presentation. We will also create a gallery of H5P content examples that attendees can explore on their own devices, which will include a variety of content types to demonstrate H5P’s versatility and encourage exploration. H5P polls will also be used to collect participant feedback. Key Takeaways for Participants Participants will come away with a deeper understanding of the H5P Smart Import process - what it is and how it works, including a “one sheet” that outlines key information with links to resources to get them started. This session will demonstrate an efficient and purposeful use of H5P that can be applied to current and templated courses. Additionally, instructional designers and technologists will receive practical advice on how to work with subject matter experts to facilitate the creation of content more effectively; this is especially important for situations in which engagement from a subject matter expert on content creation is minimal. The H5P Smart Import tool provides a starting point for constructing interactive prototypes to facilitate this connection with the subject matter expert. Conclusion In conclusion, this presentation will provide a comprehensive overview of how H5P, combined with the Smart Import tool, can be harnessed to maximize student engagement and interaction with educational content. You will leave with practical knowledge, strategies, and resources for leveraging these technologies to create high-quality, interactive learning experiences that i) support diverse learning objectives, ii) align with Bloom's taxonomy, and iii) engage subject matter experts in content creation through positive and productive collaboration. Through the effective use of these tools, educators, instructional designers, and instructional technologists can enhance teaching practices and content engagement, improve student learning outcomes, and efficiently manage both the time spent in building content as well as instructional time. Join us to explore the transformative potential of H5P and AI integration in education, and learn how to create engaging, interactive content that elevates student learning.
