As H5P activities rely primarily on visual information, some H5P activities will not be accessible for students with visual impairments or that require the use of screen readers. For more information, you can view an overview of the accessibility of the various H5P content types.
The following example H5P incorporates multiple types of interactivity.
Accessibility is the practice of making learning content available to the widest possible group of users and taking into account any barriers that may impede access. This can involve a wide range of options from assistive technologies, such as screen reading software, to interface design, such as navigation, text colour or font choices.
H5P has built in features that allow you to add accessibility features such as alternative text. When creating your H5P activities, consider the following:
Note that some types of activities are less accessible than others when using a screen reader. Drag and drop activities are the least accessible and may require you to provide an alternative activity for those students who are registered with Disability Support Services (DSS).
With any self-paced online activity, it is important that you provide students with clear instructions and explanations on the task and whether this will be assessed or not. H5P has a section in the activity to add instructions, take advantage of this to let students know what they are to do. For example, let students know if they need to drag items from one column to another or select a hotspot in an image.
H5P has a built in system that allows you to create custom feedback for the different types of activities and question types. By providing clear and meaningful feedback into the activities, students will be able to learn from it and adapt their knowledge and understanding based on the feedback.
