I have never made an interactive video before, and it was a very useful and interesting thing to learn. The quality of interactive modifications is not the best, but I think with practice it could make an effective classroom tool. I do believe a higher grade level would be more of the target audience for interactive videos. The participation and interaction with the video would be more organized and higher grades could follow along more easily. I do think you could incorporate some H5P tools into younger age groups, but it could be harder to control and direct an activity around it. Since I am new to using H5P I did not exactly know what to use or how to use it. I think different colours, shapes and fonts could make the video a bit more eye-catching or intriguing. The quiz or multiple-choice options could be very engaging for students. It could be more of a class activity rather than a normal paper quiz. It’s a great opportunity to get students to interact socially if you give them a few moments to discuss what they think the answer could be. I also do think it could be a great guided exercise for students. Since many students have not used technology like this before, walking them through a tutorial and then allowing them to try to create their own version of what we did could be a great activity. It gives them an opportunity to try new things while also expressing their own unique interests and editing styles.
I loved your post about using H5P for interactive videos! It’s awesome to hear that you’re jumping into something new — I had some trouble getting started as well. I really appreciate your idea of incorporating a guided tutorial for students, and I think that engaging them with quizzes or multiple-choice activities is a great idea. The one suggestion I have is to consider adding another hyperlink to enrich your post. Great job, and thank you for sharing your ideas! 🙂
