So, I didn’t know you could add animated GIFs to H5P’s juxtapose until today. I’m not sure how I overlooked this, but it really opens up some new possibilities.

No CMS? No Problem. H5P Can Stand Alone
I’ve been giving workshops and consults about using H5P for enhancing online learning content for maybe five years now. When I first started, we ran everything off of H5P.org and personal projects I worked on made use of the WordPress plug-in. There are a few questions that came up in early sessions that have not…
Getting H5P into Canvas without WordPress
One thing I’ve been trying to experiment with lately is getting H5P content types to work without having to fall ball on WordPress. Given my experience so far I think that is still my number one choice, after all I’ve been creating and sharing H5P activities that way for almost 5 years. Old habits are…
Breathing New Life Into an Old Machine
Nope not me. Although maybe that could be a post for another time. I am blogging to you today from my freshly refurbished Mac Mini, 2012! Apparently this was the last Mac Mini that could easily have its internal parts swapped out, and I was lucky enough to bump into a tutorial that pitched the…
25 Years of Ed Tech – Blogs
This week I was able to catch up a bit on some podcasts I subscribe to. One of the casts I’ve been enjoying lately is 25 Years of Ed Tech, a serialized version of Martin Weller’s book by the same title. Now audio books are plenty good by themselves, but this particular podcast has an…
Using Scrolling Panels in E-Learning (2020) #273
I have a back catalogue of small instructional design challenges and charrettes that I’ve been meaning to build into something bigger one day. That is obviously taking too long, so here’s a new idea. The Articulate E-Learning Heroes Community runs a weekly eLearning Challenge. I’ve mentioned before that often different IDs in different contexts will use…
Brutalist Worksheets
Checking out the Oldaily I came across Brutalist Worksheets. Here, Downes refers to a piece by Will Gourley by the same name, and adds “Now this isn’t a new trend, as evidenced by his references to worksheets created by the vertical foot on the photpocopier, but anyone taking courses online will immediately make the conceptual…
Looking Back at The Year That Shall Not Be Named
This my second only time to blog about a year in review, great timing. But recently I watched a video from a leader at our institution and in that video what caught my attention was not necessarily the praise staff and faculty got (which they really deserve), but they mentioned a bunch of these other…

Playing Tag with H5P Mods – Adding Buttons
All tools have their limitations, that’s just a fact. What is nice about using something like H5P is that there is a bit of a community that works on customizing it in addition to the core team of developers. That’s actually how I managed to snag a flashcard content type (built in dialog cards) prior…
