Atla Annual 2024

Today, there is a high demand for engaging and interactive teaching materials in academic library instruction to engage students and give them an opportunity to practice their learning in a self-paced learning environment. Instructional librarians strive to leverage innovative tools to captivate and educate our library users effectively, however, these often require specialized tech skills or high cost.
H5Ps (short for "HTML5 Package") can provide a free and low-tech solution to any librarian who would like to create engaging learning objects, such as interactive videos, timelines, presentations, quizzes, drag-and-drop activities, simple games, and more, without any programming skills. H5P activities can be used for active information literacy sessions, self-paced tutorials, online textbooks, and research guides.
The primary objective of this presentation is to demonstrate the process of creating an OER using H5Ps to empower the participants with the skills and knowledge needed to develop captivating teaching materials that enhance user engagement and foster a deeper understanding of information literacy concepts.
Note: If you want to work hands-on with the H5P tool in a guided environment, you will be invited to register for a follow-up ATLA workshop in early Fall 2024.
