You can use H5P to enhance many types of learning experiences: a form wizard that helps students plan out every step of their project; an interactive video to encourage engagement during viewing; self-directed quizzes; image hotspots to explore a graphic more thoroughly; interactive presentations that include self-assessment and opportunities to reflect; and more. Please note: H5P does not connect to Gradebook, therefore cannot be used for graded online assessments. H5P is more for self-directed, formative assessments, reflection, and activities. ▶️ [H5P Webinar](https://employees.senecapolytechnic.ca/spaces/39/the-teaching-learning-centre/videos/ashley.ribbel/instructional/6497/h5p-webinar "H5P Webinar") ▶️ [Build some H5P with Me](https://employees.senecapolytechnic.ca/spaces/39/the-teaching-learning-centre/videos/ashley.ribbel/instructional/13971/build-some-h5p-with-me "Build some H5P with Me") recording from *Teaching & Learning Day Winter 2022* 🔗 entry in the Educational Technology Tool Finder ### Screencasting Screencasting is the process of recording your computer screen usually while using voice narration.
