Creating Interactive Content

This session will be held on Friday, June 18, 2021 at noon.

Interactive content can be very engaging for students and can allow for better understanding of content. In this session we will discuss the benefits of interactive content and outline considerations for selecting appropriate tools. There will also be a showcase of H5P, an interactive content authoring tool, including the implementation of H5P by the Faculty of Education.

At the end of this session you should be confident to start creating your own interactive content!

Join Adrian and Ian this Friday to discuss interactive content. To register for this session, please visit
