Presentation Lessons Learned From H5P: Creating Interactive Learning in Moodle more

This presentation reflects on the use of H5P, an open-source plugin for Moodle, to create engaging and inclusive activities for university English learners. Aimed at teachers new to H5P, it demonstrates step by step how Moodle can become an interactive and adaptive learning space through multimodal activities, supporting diverse learners. Drawing on the presenter’s experience integrating H5P into an undergraduate English writing and oral presentation course at a Japanese university, together with insights from recent literature, the session highlights both the successes and limitations of H5P implementation. Examples, such as interactive videos and branching activities illustrate how H5P can enhance learning experiences, motivation, learner autonomy and feedback opportunities. The presentation also addresses challenges including time investment, usability constraints, and content or design overload, reflecting on how and why some implementations succeeded while others did not. Rather than presenting H5P as a one-size fits all solution, the session offers an honest practice-based reflection on what worked, what did not and lessons learned for future CALL practice. Participants will gain practical insights into how to avoid common pitfalls and adopt H5P effectively to support more active and inclusive learning in Moodle-supported language classrooms.
