Jim states: Our aim was to launch an ‘EDI in Practice’ blended training course targeted at all UON staff teaching on Apprenticeships. This 4-session course was designed to meet crucial internal and external requirements, focusing on embedding EDI principles into everyday teaching practices.
We utilised a Northampton Integrated Learning Environment (NILE) site to host both pre-session and post-session content related to the in-person training sessions. H5P was instrumental in meeting our needs as it came as an authoring tool already integrated within the NILE site. It offered a wealth of diverse interaction types that could be rapidly authored, tested, and launched. This allowed us to easily develop and embed various H5P interactions to facilitate and enhance learning. These included scenarios, questionnaires, drag and drop matching activities, word clouds, and more.
One notable activity was a questionnaire where staff would go through a series of approximately 30 questions to help them understand the concept of privilege. H5P was chosen because it could automate the questionnaire and provide an end ‘privilege score’ for reflection and discussion in the subsequent in-person session.
H5P performed exceptionally well in this context, as the intricate criteria of the questions were weighted, with some adding +1 to the cumulative score and others subtracting -1.
H5P Awareness and Practice sessions are available to staff. Use the LibCal booking system to book a place on a virtual session.
