Parking Here : The H5P Food Truck

Okay, my first ask is for anyone to share their 3 memorable / impressive H5P dishes- not an entire open textbook stuffed with them, but 3 specific, H5P pieces of content that really speak to what it’s potential is.

This is not a contest, but just 3 that stand out for you. And why.

Mine include:

  1. The H5P Periodic Table by Stuart R Mealor (CC BY-NC-ND) as it is a useful way to organize the h5P content types, but more than that, it uses the Course Presentation Tool in a most un-presentation style (using navigation links to move around in a non-linear fashion)

  2. Sedimentary Rock “Murder Mystery” Challenge by Karla Panchuk - this is a pre-release demo of an H5P enriched textbook to be available soon from BCcampus- Karla created a fascinating example of using drag and drop to have learners practice their understanding of how sedimentary rocks are made by “murdering” or destroying existing rock types.

  3. Choose your own research source for The School of Environmental Science by Mita Williams - I had little interest and never considered use of the Personality Quiz tool that offers a facebook-like series of questions to suggest what kind of celebrity or action hero you are. But his clever user offers a series of prompts about what kind of research data a learner seeks in Environmental Science. Based on the results, it suggests an appropriate database/research site to use.

Not the “best” or flashiest use of H5P but just a few (among many) that sparked new ideas for me.

Okay, you get to pick three and share. Go.
