Thanks to the wonderful Geoff Cain, I found this little tidbit sharing some new OER materials based on H5P. The eCampusOntario H5P Studio is a site for sharing H5P materials. (H5P is an open source project that provides a variety of rich, mostly interactive experiences. It is well integrated with another open source project (Moodle) that I like and support). The materials on the eCampusOntario H5P Studio are mostly Creative Commons licensed.
I need to learn more about H5P. This site may one way of finding some practical examples. The set up of the site is also interesting. It is a simple catalog presentation. There are search fields on the side. This is simple and effective. There are only a few entries currently, but I’m hoping that this will continue to grow. Even if it is focused at the college level, examples could be useful. Since the resources are Creative Commons (many are CC-BY-NC-SA), they can be remixed.
Here is their “About Us” page text:
eCampusOntario H5P Studio is your one stop shop to create, share, and discover interactive learning objects. This site uses H5P, an open source plugin, to allow content authors to easily create interactive content for their courses or other instructional projects. For more information about H5P, please refer to their website: h5p.org.
eCampusOntario H5P Studio is provided as part of our set of Open Publishing tools. This platform was developed by the innovative team at Wilfrid Laurier University Library. Special thanks to Yasin Dahi, Joanne Oud, Dillon Moore, and Gohar Ashoughian for their participation in this project.
