LOEX 2026

Instructional librarians continue to seek practical tools for creating accessible and engaging instructional materials, yet many technologies require specialized skills or institutional support. H5P is a free platform that allows librarians to design interactive learning objects such as quizzes, timelines, and drag-and-drop activities without programming knowledge. In this hands-on workshop, participants will explore examples of H5P in information literacy contexts and then build their own activity with guided support. The session will focus on instructional design strategies, testing and usability, and how to integrate H5P into a learning management system or research guide.

Participants will be able to:
1. Design an interactive H5P learning object (e.g. a quiz, timeline, or interactive video) that addresses a specific information literacy learning outcome
2. Apply fundamental instructional design and accessibility principles when creating digital learning activities in H5P
3. Identify strategies to integrate and reuse H5P activities in instructional platforms (such as LMS courses or library research guides) to enhance student learning

***Participants will need to bring a laptop to take part in the hands-on activities during the workshop.***
