On December 5th, 2023, the College of Economics and Business Administration (CEBA) hosted a staff development workshop titled “Creating and Producing Interactive Educational Videos using H5P on E-Learning Platforms”. This event, supported and initiated by Mr. Mohammed Bakheet Kashoob, a lecturer at CEBA and member of the e-learning team, was organized by the Staff Development Committee (SDC).
The workshop featured Mr. Arnelito R. Junio and Ms. Larissa Uy Santos, both lecturers at CEBA, as the primary speakers. Mr. Arnelito highlighted the use of H5P, an HTML5-based tool for creating interactive video content. He illustrated how faculty members could enhance their videos with multiple-choice questions, fill-in-the-blanks, pop-up texts, and various other interactive elements, all accessible via a web browser. He emphasized the tool's role in reinforcing learning concepts and increasing student engagement through its innovative features.
Mr. Arnelito also demonstrated the process of creating a video, showcasing H5P's various functionalities such as multiple-choice questions, free-text questions, fill-in-the-blank questions, drag-and-drop questions, interactive summaries, single choice question sets, “Mark the Word” activities, and incorporating elements like images, tables, and links.
Ms. Larissa played a key role in assisting staff with accessing the e-learning platform and provided hands-on guidance. She further elaborated on how the interactive video tool could impart valuable insights and practical skills to students. Her assertion that H5P enables faculty members to weave interactive elements into educational content added depth to the discussion. The workshop was interactive, with attendees actively participating and sharing ideas to enhance their teaching sessions.
