Thanks a whole lot for this summary. Coming back from vacations for a week of quiet work, I welcome this opportunity to dive back into H5P. Those NDLA content types sent me in a (shallow) rabbithole.
In fact, the “prioritize H5P characteristics” idea gets me to think about proper ways to frame discussion of why (we/I) should care about H5P, with a strong OE(P/R) bias. As you say, @cogdog, portability is key. “Interoperability” is related and also important.
Which then leads us to this whole discussion of authoring & hosting. In our experience, Lumi does reassure people. (@yasin.dahi just alerted me to LogiQuiz, which might be an alternative to Lumi. Where things get a bit trickier is about collaboration. And, yes, hosting. Along with search engines.
Doesn’t it sound like a common refrain in the OER world? “Why can’t we have one spot to find, access, download, adopt, adapt, upload, host, index, describe, co-create, and integrate all of those neat resources?”
Which also gets me to wonder about how H5P will fit in my 2022–23 activities. The hosting issue leads to particularly loud discussions and it doesn’t sound like we’re getting that close to a solution which will satisfy everyone. Because, politics.
Technically, OER Studio might work well for a lot of people, especially once it’s available in target languages, including French. And Learnful is involved in neat initiatives. At the same time, some parts might be missing. We could identify those through “engagement with diverse stakeholders”. Yes, committees and User Testing could help, there. The missing piece probably has more to do with building a full Community of Practice.
WIth librarians, the heroines and heroes of the Information Age!
(As a disclaimer: I’m currently getting closer to librarianship through my personal life. Yet I’ve been praising librarians for years.)
At any rate… Your approach to raising awareness about H5P already does a lot to get people enthusiastic about OE.
Good job, Alan!
