H5P for Reflection and Deep Learning

This tool allows you to offer a place and prompts for your students to take guided notes alongside text, audio, or video. When completed, the learner can copy and paste the notes into their own document for reference or to submit to you.

This tool allows creators to structure guided writing processes. This can be used to help learners set goals, reflect on the content, or create an outline of their own. Once complete, the learner can download a copy to their desktop or copy and paste the text to their own document for reference or submission to you.

See more examples in this Pressbook:

• • Reflection: How can you integrate representational justice?
  • Reflect on your own identity
  • DEIA reflections on objectives

This tool allows you to create a more structured scaffold for your learners than H5P’s Cornell Notes or Documentation Tool. You can provide content with images, videos, or audio, use specific prompts, and restrict the number of words learners can put in their responses. Just like the H5P above, learners can copy and paste the completed text into a Word document of their own for reference or to turn in to you.

Examples

Language is Social and Rhetorical, a chapter from Your Voice Matters, uses H5P Structure Strips to allow student reflection in the textbook that can then be copied or downloaded for individual use or to turn in for an assignment.

This tool can be used to create choose-your-own-adventure-type, self-paced learning scenarios and other types of adaptive learning. Creators can incorporate all sorts of media and other H5P types with a branching scenario, and learners can make choices and solve problems that support deeper learning.
