DON’T OVERLOOK THE UNDERDOG H5P delivers simple yet effective content creation

Just in case you’ve been living in a cave for the past 10 years, there’s a little tool called “H5P”, and it’s kinda changed the eLearning world. It seems strange that we are writing an article about something that was launched back in 2013, but it’s one of the tools that just keeps getting better and better, and it deserves a bigger stage. The Birth of H5P: A New Era In 2013, a new and transformative tool called H5P (HTML5 Package) was introduced to the world by the Norwegian company Joubel. With its mission to enable the creation, sharing, and reuse of interactive content, H5P quickly became a game-changer in the fields of education and online content development. H5P was designed to empower educators, content creators, and learners to develop rich interactive web experiences without extensive coding knowledge, paving the way for a more engaging learning approach.

Connecting the World Since its inception, H5P has made significant strides in connecting users across the globe. Its accessibility and ease of use have made it a favourite tool in classrooms, corporate training rooms, and online platforms everywhere. This universal adoption has facilitated a more unified approach to content delivery.

The 3 Best H5P Tools The versatility of H5P is one of its most compelling aspects. Here’s a look at some of the tools we feel sets H5P apart:

1) Interactive Videos: Transform your videos from “watch” to “do”; visual media for interaction, engagement, and active learning. Think Netflix’s “Bandersnatch”, placing the viewer in the driving seat and allowing them to navigate through your video and having a direct impact on the outcomes. If you are using standard video on your eLearning courses already, then transforming this into an interactive video is a breeze.
