This will be a quick
introduction to H5P.
So I'll just scroll down to
where I'd like this to be.
And you can see I have a
number of these already.
But if I didn't and I
wanted to start afresh,
I would just come down
here as we usually do
and go to Add
Activity or Resource.
I would choose that H5P.
And you can see there's
a number of options here.
It opens up with not
just the video, but quite
a few different possibilities.
And I don't see a
great deal of value
in these presently myself,
except for interactive video.
So I can choose that.
And that will give me
a bunch of options,
as is common in Moodle
for each of these.
But this has even
more than most.
So I am going to put in
some information about what
I'm going to do here.
And this is standard
information for Moodle.
I put in the
description of that.
There is a tutorial and
examples of all the H5P options.
If you want to look at,
those are valuable and fairly
well done.
But I will put it in
the title for this.
Now this title is
called Metadata.
That means if someone is
going to be searching for this
and the copyright information,
the background information
is what Metadata is.
Now this isn't to
be public facing.
This is going to be
inside of Moodle for me.
So the Metadata is not crucial.
I'll come down here
and it shows that I
can do several things here.
The three areas are where
you upload the video
and add some information about
how it's going to work broadly,
the global settings.
Then it's going to
have ad interactions.
And that's what we'll spend
most our time on today.
And then the
summary task is just
a final interaction that comes
up at the end of the piece.
So the first thing one must
do is click this Add Video.
That opens the options to upload
it or to use a YouTube clip.
I'll show you the
steps for both.
If I'm going to upload a file,
I'll just click right here.
And obviously, I'll
just navigate through
until I see the
file that I want.
I'll click that, hit open,
and then it'll upload.
It'll take a moment or two.
If you know the
quality of the video,
they ask and put it in here.
If you don't, worry about it.
Then I'm going to come down
here and open up this window.
And it's going to ask me
some basic questions, which
I will answer.
If instead of uploading
a clip I just wanted
to use an existing clip
that I know is on YouTube,
I would click the
same button there.
But now I'm going to
just insert a video here.
And then I'll just click that.
And now I have access
to that YouTube
video, which will be visible
when I go to Ad Interaction.
And I will point out that some
of the functionality in this
does not work on YouTube videos.
Just be conscious of that.
The directions are pretty clear.
Here it asks for a poster image.
Now this is going
to be the thumbnail.
It will also be
the opening screen.
That'll be a still.
You don't have to
do this for YouTube,
because they provide their own.
But if you are uploading stuff
for, say, your department,
you may very well want to have
your department title and logo
there, whatever you
use as a standard.
Below that, this closed
captioning information
you can put in there if
you're not using a YouTube,
but if you're
uploading your own.
Behavioral settings-- you
can set within YouTube,
or you can set them if
you've uploaded one.
So here, I've uploaded a video.
And I know that the first
minute of it is an introduction.
So I just put in one minute.
AutoPlay video-- clearly,
if I want it to be
paused as they go to this,
or I want it to AutoPlay,
and it'll loop the video.
Do you want it to
run in a circle?
By default, if there's
a question asked,
it shows the Show
Solution button.
And then, after they see the
solution, they go back in
and they do it again.
Then retry, we'll show
you this in a moment here.
It allows you to try it again.
So that students-- they can
just hit retry, go back,
give it a shot.
Once again, it reinforces
the learning but not
so much assessment.
Then I can turn this on, start
with Bookmarks, menu open,
and I'll show what
that looks like.
Show button for rewinding
looks like this.
Now prevent skipping forward--
now this is terrific for, say,
a traditional student, maybe
an entry level learner.
And you want to make sure that
they're going through this,
they're answering the
questions in sequence,
they're getting the
correct answers before you
allow them to continue.
Now if it's on
YouTube, for instance,
they'll be able to go out
and see it separately,
but they won't get credit
for the interactions
unless they go through
it on the program.
If you select Prevent
Skipping Forward in the video,
it's really frustrating, though,
to the self-motivated learner.
They just want to move forward.
And they don't
want to be held up.
There are some of
the interactions that
will not allow you
to move forward
until you've gone through them.
If you allow Prevent Skipping
Forward in the video,
they can just drag the play
head forward and continue
without doing that.
Now if what you're trying
to do is strictly visual,
you might want to
deactivate the sound,
especially if the
background noises distract.
We have Text Overrides
and Translations,
and that is necessarily
advanced functions.
And we won't be
covering that today.
And it's unlikely
that for your classes
you're going to
need to allow them
to embed this in
other activities
or to allow to download,
if you want them
to work within this framework.
So having those off makes sense.
I would keep Display Action
Bar and Frame visible.
And then the balance of
these are Moodle functions
that are covered if you deal
with Moodle at all, anyways.
But understand
that this is going
to keep track of what
they're doing in these videos
and will inform the
Moodle grading process.
And I will end this first video
clip on H5P with this comment.
That Save and Return to
Course, or Save and Display,
for Moodle, as you
were all aware,
are crucial so you don't
lose your work within the H5P
interaction.
And you'll be able to
hit Done and move forward
for every interaction
you put in there.
And there can be
quite a few of them.
However, you've still got to
come down hit Save and Return
to Course or Save and Display
or you'll lose all your work.
So just because the H5P
interaction gives you
the chance to basically say hit
Done, which one would assume
is a Save function,
it doesn't save it
more broadly to the activity.
And then finally,
the saving of the H5P
generally takes longer than
any of the other things
I've worked with.
Primarily because videos
are generally large files.
So if it says it's not done,
you can click Wait and then
let it keep working.
I've had to click Wait a
couple of times in a row
before it would go forward.
This is the end of
this introduction.
