Interested in incorporating an OER into your course shell this semester? Set aside one afternoon to learn H5P, an easy-to-use open software to create interactive elements for your course. After an overview of H5P options and examples from McMaster instructors and teaching assistants, you’ll have an opportunity to apply what you’ve learned in a work session. Experienced using H5P? Drop-in during this time with any questions you may have!
