Engaging eLearning

Articulate RISE

At Whitireia and WelTec, we are fortunate to have several Articulate licenses, which allow the eCreate team and many teaching staff to create interactive and engaging lessons.

Benefits of creating eLearning modules include:

• Revisitable Content: Akonga can revisit content as often as they like.
• Device Responsiveness: Modules are responsive on all devices, enabling students to complete them anytime, anywhere.
• Reusable Modules: Once created, a module can be reused every time you deliver your course.

Here is an example of a RISE module, which was created for all teaching staff at Whitireia and WelTec.

PPT for presentations

PowerPoint is a great tool for online learning. It has many useful features, like the ability to record yourself presenting, making lessons more engaging and personal for ākonga. PowerPoint also offers a variety of attractive templates to enhance your presentations and keep ākonga interested.

Here's a quick example, just a sample quickly thrown together, to show you some of the features. Remember to view in Slide show from the beginning to hear the audio narration.

Moodle Lesson

Moodle Lesson is a versatile activity module in Moodle. It enables you to create interactive and adaptive learning experiences by presenting content and questions in a variety of formats.  Key features include:

1. Content Pages: Information is presented in text, images, or multimedia.
2. Question Pages: Various question types like multiple choice, true/false, short answer, and matching are included.
3. Branching Scenarios: Learners' choices determine the path they follow, allowing personalised learning paths.
4. Grading and Feedback: Provides immediate feedback and grades based on learners' responses.
5. Flexibility: Lessons can be linear or non-linear, supporting different teaching strategies.

This example is a very unpolished play with Moodle lesson. This was done very quickly but with a little bit more time, could be great!

H5P Lesson

H5P has some wonderful easy options for structuring content and including formative activities as you go. One option is to start with an H5P Book in which you can incorporate a lot of different activities and content types seamlessly. 

Here is an H5P Book demo, which includes a range of other H5P activities within it. The demo includes tips in red on how the lesson has been built (it's a draft, demo book).

There is also a second short learning package example, which is an H5P Course Presentation.
