Online Resource Creation

The H5P Documentation Tool is a powerful and versatile resource for tutors. It allows you to:

• Build interactive assessments: Craft engaging "wizard-like" experiences that guide learners through goal-oriented activities. These assessments can be tailored to specific learning objectives and provide valuable feedback.

• Create flexible forms: Design interactive forms that collect data and personalise the learning experience. This can be anything from simple questionnaires to complex surveys.

• Simplify workflows: With the intuitive editor, you can easily define content for each step of the wizard, including text, images, input fields, goal definitions, and assessments.

• Empower learners: Once published, learners can seamlessly navigate the wizard, complete required tasks, and generate a final document summarising their input. This document can be downloaded or directly submitted to your Learning Management System (LMS), eliminating the need for manual uploads or lost paperwork.

• Seamless on any device: The Documentation Tool is fully responsive, ensuring a smooth experience for learners regardless of whether they're using a desktop computer, tablet, or smartphone.

Imagine this: Your learners are tasked with recording a salon activity using their own phones or college devices. With a QR code leading to the Documentation Tool, they can easily complete the task, submit their recordings directly, and avoid the hassle of managing separate files or dealing with lost paperwork.

This is the perfect tool to create dynamic, multi-resource learning experiences. Keep it bite-sized for maximum impact - limit your book to 5 pages, ideal for single-session activities. Learners can dive in and enjoy a complete, interactive journey without stopping halfway.

Here's how you can use H5P activities to craft compelling interactive books:

• Columns: Act as the foundation, housing all your content within a page.

• Accordions: Organise information into vertically stacked sections that learners can expand or collapse for a focused learning experience.

• Fill in the Blanks: Encourage active participation by prompting learners to fill in missing words within a text passage.

• Drag the Words: Challenge learners to match terms with their definitions by dragging and dropping them into place.

• Mark the Words: Enhance vocabulary recognition by asking learners to highlight specific words within a text.

• Summaries: Solidify understanding by having learners select the correct statements that accurately summarise the key points of an activity.

• Dialog Cards: Create engaging flashcards with text and images to reinforce key concepts.

• Question Sets: Integrate quizzes at the end of each page (column) to assess knowledge retention and identify areas that might require further explanation.

• Videos: Embed videos within your interactive book to visually introduce concepts and follow up with related questions for deeper comprehension.

Tip: H5P interactive books provide a versatile platform to cater to different learning styles and preferences. Experiment with various activity combinations to create engaging and effective learning experiences for your learners.

H5P Image Choice is a fantastic tool for creating interactive quizzes that test your learners' visual recognition and knowledge. Here's how it works:

1. Present the Question:  Begin by posing a clear question related to hairdressing concepts.

2. Display the Image Grid:  Create a grid showcasing a variety of images relevant to the question. These could be pictures of hairstyles, tools, safety signs, or anything visually related to the topic.

3. Learner Selection:  Learners then select the images that best fit the question's criteria. For example, if your question asks learners to identify "all the safety signs that fit under the 'warning' category," they would choose only the warning signs from the image grid.

4. Check for Understanding:  Once learners have made their selections, they can click a button (often labeled "Check" or "Submit") to see if their choices are correct.

Benefits:

• Visual Recognition: Image Choice strengthens learners' ability to identify and differentiate between hairdressing tools, techniques, and safety signage.

• Knowledge Application: By selecting images based on specific criteria, learners demonstrate their understanding of hairdressing concepts.

• Engaging Assessment: This interactive format makes knowledge assessment more engaging and less like a traditional test.

Example:

You can use H5P Image Choice to create a quiz that asks learners to:

• Identify the correct styling tools needed for a specific hairstyle from a grid of various tools.

• Select pictures of hairstyles that best exemplify a particular hairdressing technique.

• Choose the safety signs that correspond to specific hazards in a salon environment.

The possibilities are endless! With H5P Image Choice, you can create effective and engaging assessments that cater to visual learners and reinforce core hairdressing knowledge.

H5P Image Sequencing is more than just putting pictures in order. It's a powerful tool that transforms static images into interactive learning experiences for your learners.

Beyond the Basics:

While the core function involves arranging a set of images in the correct sequence (with the order randomised for each attempt) and tracking time and moves for a touch of friendly competition, H5P Image Sequencing unlocks a world of creative possibilities:

Step into the Salon Experience:

• Hairstyle Mastery: Break down complex hairstyles into step-by-step visual guides, guiding learners through the creation process with ease.

• Colouring Expertise: Showcase the application of various colouring techniques, like balayage or ombre, allowing learners to visualise each step.

• Colour Correction Confidence: Demonstrate the stages of colour correction, visually guiding learners from application to successful removal.

• Safety First: Create a clear and engaging visual guide to safe salon practices, ensuring learners understand each step of the process.

Engage Your Learners:

• Salon Journey: Take learners on a client's journey through the salon, visually depicting every stage from consultation to the final style.

• A Historical Hairstyling Tour: Embark on a journey through time, showcasing iconic hairstyles from different eras, from ancient Egypt to the modern day.

• Problem-solving Puzzles: Present hairdressing challenges, like colour corrections, and challenge learners to sequence the steps to fix them.

• Interactive Q&A: Design rolling Q&A activities on various hairdressing topics using image sequences for engaging revision.

Remember:

• Enhance Understanding: Include clear and concise descriptions for each image to solidify learning.

• Boost Retention: Consider incorporating audio explanations for further reinforcement.

• Empower Creativity: Encourage learners to create their own image sequences to solidify their understanding and spark their creative spirit.

These are just a few sparks to ignite your imagination. With H5P Image Sequencing, the possibilities for engaging and effective learning in education are limitless!

Engage Learners with Interactive Journeys: Introducing H5P Game Map

H5P Game Map goes beyond traditional quizzes and games by offering a captivating, multi-activity experience. Imagine creating a learning adventure where learners progress through a activity, tackling diverse challenges you design.

Key Features:

• Variety is Key: Embed various H5P content types within your Game Map. Keep learners motivated by switching between activities like drag-and-drop tasks, memory games, or even informative videos.

• Time Management & Reward System: Set time limits for both individual activities and the entire game. Completing tasks within the time limit earns points, while exceeding the limit deducts "lives." Correct answers, however, can buy back both time and lives, creating a dynamic learning experience.

• Seamless Instructions: Need to provide clear instructions for any activity? Simply integrate the "Course Presentation" content type within the Game Map, allowing for a smooth flow of information and tasks.

• Customizable Completion: Upon finishing the Game Map, present learners with a personalized message you create, along with an image. This message could even be a key that unlocks the next Game Map in a series, fostering a sense of accomplishment and encouraging further exploration.

Beyond Simple Quizzes:

While H5P Game Map requires some time investment for creation, it offers a significant advantage over traditional quizzes. By incorporating various activities and a game-like structure, you can transform learning into an engaging and interactive journey that keeps learners motivated and fosters deeper understanding.
