H5P Synchronous Components Workshops
The Faculty Innovation Center is excited to announce that monthly training on H5P will continue, with the upcoming April training focusing on H5P synchronous components. Participants will have the opportunity to learn about and experiment with features such as The Emoji Cloud, The Word Cloud, and The Chase.
Adding synchronous activities to online courses can be highly beneficial for students, as they offer opportunities to ask questions and build relationships with their instructors and peers. Synchronous lessons promote active student engagement and deeper learning.
Through synchronous sessions, instructors can build rapport with their students and provide valuable opportunities for them to assess their own understanding, ask critical questions, and seek feedback from their peers and instructor. By fostering a collaborative learning environment, students are more likely to stay engaged and motivated, leading to improved outcomes.
We encourage faculty members to attend this upcoming training session and explore the benefits of synchronous activities in their online courses.

The Emoji Cloud is a live engagement tool. Students respond to a question using an emoji. How can this tool be used? It makes it easy to get live feedback and makes it easy to conduct a poll where learners select an emoji as their response. You could ask students if they understood the material, how they feel about an upcoming assessment, or even how their day is going.
H5P's "The Chase" is an online active learning tool where students compete against each other to give the most correct answers in their class. You can use a wide range of question types such as Multiple Choice Questions, Fill in the Blanks, and Drag and Drop. While the Chase is relatively new, the interface is similar to the interfaces of other H5P components, and users of H5P should not have any issues creating The Chase for their classes. It provides an engaging and game-like environment. It can also be used as a review tool since incorrect answers are shown and can be discussed further.
To be able to gather more detailed feedback from your audience, we’re also offering Word Cloud. With Word Cloud, users may answer a question by choosing between predefined words or typing their own. The results are presented both as a word cloud and as a tabular view.
