Look! Something to share that is not ai I am having tinges of regret and longing as I have not been doing much of any work or experiments with h5p these days.
If you are an H5P user, I hope you know the laudable contributions by @otacke Oliver Tacke who not only does community support but is a key developer and contributor for H5P Content types, improving them and adding new ones. See all of the content types Oliver has created / contributed to.
He also does custom H5P development for clients but usually under the agreement that they can be shared openly. His web site lets you try them out if you can add custom content types to your H5P editor, as it takes time for them to be adapted and added to the main H5P collection.
That’s the idea behind one he should posted in Mastodon, as Scripting Dialogues: The H5P Chat Simulator.
It generates what looks like an animated playback of a text message conversation. In the content type you can specify names, avatars of the two speakers, and then write the dialogue that takes place (screenshot below, read the post to see it play out).
I’m not sure what his client had in mind, but I can see it as maybe an effective part of case studies, or content that deals with social interaction. Or maybe it can be a clever way to introduce a chapter/or section.
Before I even had time to post a comment on Oliver’s post, Nele Hirsch, a fantastic oer and web guru also in Germany published a post about Oliver’s new tool. She writes in German, but Google translate effectively lets me read it.
I’ve followed Nele’s H5P work for a long time, she maintains a web site where anyone can create H5P content, see EinstiegH5P “Erstelle mit H5P interaktive Online-Inhalte zum Lernen! EinstiegH5P bietet dir einen registrierungsfreien Zugriff auf den H5P-Editor zum unverbindlichen Testen.”
EntryH5P- Create interactive online learning content with H5P! EntryH5P offers you registration-free access to the H5P editor for a non-binding test.
It looks like it gives you access to the WordPress back end for creating H5P content, without having to actually log in to the wordpress site. It’s really impressive, especially because she has added Oliver’s new content type and you can see examples iof people trying it out right away.
Can you think of uses of this kind of interactive content?
