Now, I could have opened up old presentations directly, but why not try something new? This time around I took some inspiration from <a href=\"https:\/\/cogdogblog.com\/2022\/08\/h5p-texas-style\/\">Alan Levine<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/kitchen.opened.ca\/2021\/06\/03\/june-webinar\/\">Arley Cruther<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/learningnuggets.ca\/2019\/04\/\">Terry Greene<\/a> (again!) to build out a branching scenario-style presentation.<\/p>\n<p>This is not actually the first time I&#8217;ve done a choose your own presentation style presentation. For CAUCE 2022, I opted for a pre-recorded session where I used H5P&#8217;s interactive video to create an asynchronous branching experience. If you missed that one, you can see the <a href=\"https:\/\/jrdingwall.ca\/portfolio\/2021\/05\/11\/its-alive-creating-interactive-learning-experiences-with-h5p\/\">write-up in my project archive<\/a>, or check out the embedded presentation below.<\/p>\n<div class=\"h5p-iframe-wrapper\"><iframe id=\"h5p-iframe-27\" class=\"h5p-iframe\" data-content-id=\"27\" style=\"height:1px\" src=\"about:blank\" frameBorder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"It\u2019s Alive! Creating Interactive Learning Experiences with H5P\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>The purpose of that presentation was for CAUCE participants to check it out whenever they had time or interest. What&#8217;s different about the SaskPolytech presentation is that it was live, so just rehatching the video wouldn&#8217;t really work. I&#8217;ve been working more and more on branching scenarios and am keen to make more, so I took a hint from those I mentioned at the top of this post and went full-on H5P branching scenario for this one.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2543\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2543\" style=\"width: 759px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2543 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/jrdingwall.ca\/blogwall\/files\/2022\/10\/Screen-Shot-2022-10-15-at-2.59.09-PM.png\" alt=\"SaskPolytech H5P Presentation title screen\" width=\"759\" height=\"493\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jrdingwall.ca\/blogwall\/files\/2022\/10\/Screen-Shot-2022-10-15-at-2.59.09-PM.png 759w, https:\/\/jrdingwall.ca\/blogwall\/files\/2022\/10\/Screen-Shot-2022-10-15-at-2.59.09-PM-300x195.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 759px) 100vw, 759px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2543\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Title screen for the presentation as seen from Lumi.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>To begin, I did end up rehashing some of my CAUCE presentation.

Starting with this collection of resources and some of the branching logic of the interactive video I headed over to Twine to layout the branching pathways. I&#8217;m a big fan of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.christytuckerlearning.com\/twine-makes-branching-scenarios-easier\/\">Christy Tucker&#8217;s approach to branching scenario creation using Twine<\/a>, and that is how I&#8217;ve been creating pathways ever since.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2547\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2547\" style=\"width: 541px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2547 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/jrdingwall.ca\/blogwall\/files\/2022\/10\/Screen-Shot-2022-10-11-at-1.56.16-PM.png\" alt=\"a lined grid with white cards. the cards are connected with curved arrows indicating pathways.\" width=\"541\" height=\"781\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jrdingwall.ca\/blogwall\/files\/2022\/10\/Screen-Shot-2022-10-11-at-1.56.16-PM.png 541w, https:\/\/jrdingwall.ca\/blogwall\/files\/2022\/10\/Screen-Shot-2022-10-11-at-1.56.16-PM-208x300.png 208w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 541px) 100vw, 541px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2547\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Building branching pathways using Twinery.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Within some of the cards, I dropped quotes, jot notes, links, and ideas for what to talk about in response to each question. A lot of this was done just by drawing upon previous blog posts, previously shared examples, and a couple of updates since the last time I did a presentation about H5P. From here, I moved over to the H5P branching scenario. I had considered building it in the Lumi Desktop application which has become a staple in my workflow, but I recently learned that Lumi also has an online platform now (with OER sharing enabled, which is super neat, but for another post). I registered and jumped in to begin creating the activity.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2555\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2555\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2555\" src=\"https:\/\/jrdingwall.ca\/blogwall\/files\/2022\/10\/Lumi-App-Interface-1024x522.png\" alt=\"screencapture of the online lumi H5P editing interface\" width=\"1024\" height=\"522\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jrdingwall.ca\/blogwall\/files\/2022\/10\/Lumi-App-Interface-1024x522.png 1024w, https:\/\/jrdingwall.ca\/blogwall\/files\/2022\/10\/Lumi-App-Interface-300x153.png 300w, https:\/\/jrdingwall.ca\/blogwall\/files\/2022\/10\/Lumi-App-Interface-768x391.png 768w, https:\/\/jrdingwall.ca\/blogwall\/files\/2022\/10\/Lumi-App-Interface-1536x783.png 1536w, https:\/\/jrdingwall.ca\/blogwall\/files\/2022\/10\/Lumi-App-Interface-2048x1043.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2555\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lumi looks similar to the WordPress interface with a couple of key distinctions.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The actual building process I used was to lay out all of the\u00a0<em>cards<\/em> for the branching scenario. So if there was already some text or other content for each decision point, I ignored that when first building the scenario. I wanted to make sure I had spots for content to go and to ensure I had the mapping all worked out. Something you may notice about Twinery vs H5P is that the former uses arrows to indicate pathways while H5P uses this little red scarlet letter on content to indicate a jump to another branch. Selecting the red icon will show you where the path jumps to, but you do not get a high-level overview of all of the connections. This is one of the benefits of working on paper or in Twinery before jumping into H5P. Finally, I had a branching scenario board that looked like this:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2556\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2556\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2556\" src=\"https:\/\/jrdingwall.ca\/blogwall\/files\/2022\/10\/H5P-SaskPolytech-Branching-1024x683.png\" alt=\"The H5P branching scenario editing interface.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jrdingwall.ca\/blogwall\/files\/2022\/10\/H5P-SaskPolytech-Branching-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/jrdingwall.ca\/blogwall\/files\/2022\/10\/H5P-SaskPolytech-Branching-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/jrdingwall.ca\/blogwall\/files\/2022\/10\/H5P-SaskPolytech-Branching-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/jrdingwall.ca\/blogwall\/files\/2022\/10\/H5P-SaskPolytech-Branching-1536x1025.png 1536w, https:\/\/jrdingwall.ca\/blogwall\/files\/2022\/10\/H5P-SaskPolytech-Branching-2048x1366.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2556\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Note how a decision card can be pushed down the line even if one of the first decisions leads to it.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The presentation was about an hour long and had attendees including instructional designers, learning technologists, program managers, and course media production technologists. I had a technical problem with my larger monitor, so I was stuck using just a laptop screen to present using Zoom. To have the audience choose a path, I recruited one of the IDs I knew to monitor the chat. I asked participants to put in the chat which path they&#8217;d like to take and asked the helper to let me know which was most common. This worked reasonably well and avoided needing to set up polling or other unnecessarily complicated options.<\/p>\n<p>Following the presentation, I was a little down at first. I had prepared quite a bit of content (I had lots I thought!), but the session really focused on two of the possible areas. It only occurred to me later that this was in fact a sign of success. Many of the attendees were at least somewhat familiar with H5P, or the answer to &#8220;why make course content interactive.&#8221; So instead of boring everyone to tears, we had a chance to focus on topics that mattered to them. At least I hope that&#8217;s what actually happened.<\/p>\n<p>You can check out the presentation branching scenario for yourself, and hopefully, you will find something there of interest.<\/p>\n<div class=\"h5p-iframe-wrapper\"><iframe id=\"h5p-iframe-55\" class=\"h5p-iframe\" data-content-id=\"55\" style=\"height:1px\" src=\"about:blank\" frameBorder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"SaskPolytech H5P Presentation\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The H5P roadshow slowed down a little bit in 2022, but I recently had the opportunity to talk with instructional designers, trainers, and other learning professionals at Saskatchewan Polytechnic about H5P.
