Creating Open Content with Pressbooks and H5P

Tue March 3, 2026 @ 4:30 pm - 6:00 pm GMT

Did you know McMaster has single-sign on to Pressbooks, an easy-to-use open content publishing platform for creating (or adapting) online resources such as textbooks, guidebooks, modules, lab manuals, student-generated assignments, and more? This session will provide an overview of Pressbooks and the dynamic features that are natively baked in – including H5P interactivity, Hypothes.is annotation and embedded multimedia. If you’re looking to self-publish content of any length, and want a simple tool that enables customization, flexibility and accessible, varied publishing formats with web-hosting options, Pressbooks may be right for you. We’ll look at examples of instructor-created and student-created content and get you started on using Pressbooks for your teaching and learning.

eCampusOntario offers free access to H5P, a powerful tool for creating interactive learning elements. H5P allows you to design engaging activities—such as quizzes, drag-and-drop exercises, interactive videos, and more—that can be seamlessly embedded into Avenue to Learn. This session will provide an overview of H5P and showcase a variety of interactive elements that instructors can use to enhance student engagement in online courses. Whether you’re looking to create dynamic learning experiences or explore innovative ways to present content, H5P offers an intuitive and flexible solution. Join us to see real-world examples, learn how to integrate H5P into your course, and get started with designing interactive activities for your teaching and learning.
