I would like to acknowledge that I live and work on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Coast Salish Nations of Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), səl̓ilwətaɁɬ (Tsleil-Waututh), and xwməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam).
Today we will:
- Learn some H5P basics
- Think about what makes H5P "open"
- Look at object examples on h5p.org
- Browse eCampusOntario H5P Studio
- Hands on with Lumi authoring tool
- Get oriented to BCIT H5P Commons
What is H5P?

"Integration of H5P content within course material provides opportunities for students as learners to think critically about what they are being taught and supports the flexibility students are requesting by extending the learning environment."
