At our most recent IL Quarterly Instructor meeting, Erin Paul-Schuetter shared instructions on how to use H5P (which offers course designers a wide variety of tools to create content) to create flash cards and import these tools directly into Canvas. A pdf of these instructions can be viewed here:
H5P offers course designers a wide variety of tools to create content. One of them, the timeline, allows you to make an interactive series of listings and events.
https://h5p.org/timeline
To make something like this, you first create a new account. From there, click on “My Account” on the top row of links, and then click the link to “Create New Content.” Select Timeline as the content type, and then add information for each item you’d like to add to your timeline.Here’s a sample. It contains a timeline that highlights some key performances in the history of rock and roll, with a YouTube link for each performance.https://h5p.org/node/487138
Interested in learning more about what you can create with H5P? Come to the IL Instructor Quarterly meeting this Friday at 1pm to hear more about it. You can also read previous IL posts with examples:https://courses.dcs.wisc.edu/wp/ilinstructors/2018/06/21/h5p-content-creation-image-hotspots/

H5P offers course designers a wide variety of tools to create content. One of them, the image hotspots, allows you to reveal texts, images and videos over a background image.

To make something like this, you first create a new account. From there, click on “My Account” on the top row of links, and then click the link to “Create New Content.” Select Image Hotspots as the content type, choose a background, click on the image where you’d like to make a hotspot, and then provide additional content to be revealed.
Here’s a sample. It’s a map with important cities of rock music, with brief information and key musicians listed.

As a disclaimer, the red squiggly spell check line does not appear consistently, so you’ll need to be especially careful for typos, etc.
Beyond including key cities on a map, you could have a painting with information about different objects, or maybe a photograph of a machine with explanations of different parts. How else might you use a tool like this? Let us know – we’d love to see your ideas!
H5P offers course designers a wide variety of tools to create content. One of them, the accordion, gives you lists that can expand for more info:

To make something like this, you first create a new account. From there, click on “My Account” on the top row of links, and then click the link to “Create New Content.” Select Accordion as the content type, and then provide titles and texts for each panel of the accordion.
Here’s a sample. It includes a short list of important individuals for a course module. A short biography, and links to longer biographies, are included when it expands.

As a disclaimer, the red squiggly spell check line does not appear consistently, so you’ll need to be especially careful for typos, etc.
Some potential applications for the accordion tool could include lists of individuals with biographies, lists of terms with definitions, lists of modules in your course with module summaries, or lists of major events with descriptions. Any ideas how something like this could be used in your courses? Let us know – we’d love to see what you come up with!
H5P offers a variety of tools that instructors can use to create instructional content: presentations, games, timelines, etc. We’ll highlight some of these tools with examples that could be used in an IL Course.
