No, we are not on TV. Yet. But we do run a series of webinars as a means of providing project support. All shows are held in Zoom and archives will be posted as soon as they are out of the oven. Unless otherwise noted, Cooking with H5P shows are open to anyone interested in our craft.
We run two different formats a month, on alternating Thursdays, 9:00 AM Pacific. One is our “Open Kitchen Drop In Lab” when you can come with your H5P efforts and get help on your cooking. Each session we will announce a new “Peak Chef H5P Challenge“, a fun way to practice and hone your H5P cooking. We also are using these times to ask each team to schedule at least one 30 minute “check up” where we can help you fine tune your project.
In the last Thursday of each month for “The Main Show” we invite into the Kitchen technical, pedagogical experts to share their experience and showpieces created using H5P in Pressbooks.
Cooking With H5P Schedule for 2021
The Main Show
Advance registration is required for these sessions.
Project launch, introductions and tour of the H5P/B Kitchen (Project Teams only).
We will also open the kitchen table for participants to talk about their first weeks working on projects or to get feedback on progress so far.
We will be bringing in one of the project teams from the 2020 H5P OER Grants to share their experiences and demonstrate the additions made to a new edition of an open textbook.
Steel Wagstaff, Educational Product Manager for Pressbooks, visits the kitchen to share examples and useful suggestions for using Pressbooks (and H5P) plus to maybe hint at what its future might look like.
For this show, we welcome to the Kitchen, Kyle Mackie, “community builder, technology champion, and educational consultant.” Kyle has tons of expertise with H5P and we expect to learn useful cooking tricks from him.
Arley is in the kitchen to share her ideas on effective interactivity and to show her chops at cooking with the Branching Scenario.
This is where we get to share and sample the work the teams have done. It’s the end of Season 2!
Drop In Lab
