Start with defining your "why".

• What are your learning objectives?
• What learning experience are you trying to solve?
• What do you want to teach people?

Next, identify the challenges your learners currently face in order to reach the learning objective(s) you just defined.

• What is keeping them from being able to learn what you're hoping to teach them?
• What are some learning gaps?
• What are some non-learning gaps?

Now it's time to start thinking about content.

It's easier to brainstorm all the content in terms of building blocks:

• What are the "steps" that will form the journey to get the learner from Point A to Point B?
• What does the learning experience need to consist of, in order to fulfill the learning objective?

Like a puzzle, the content building blocks of the learning experience should "fit" together well. 

• Will you incorporate spaced learning?
• Do you have a progressive case study approach?
• What's the starting point and what's the end-point for what you will teach?

Now try structuring and organizing the content you've planned. Organize the blocks in a sequence that fits the asynchronous and/or synchronous nature of your lesson/course/module.

Especially in an online setting, the sequenced content you've planned should be matched with appropriate learning activities.

Think about all the different ways your learners can absorb the information.

• How will they interact with the different concepts and skills?
• How will they apply and practice new knowledge?

Examples of interaction formats for learning activities may include: audio, video, text, discussions, quizzes, critique sessions, lectures, projects, demos, etc.

Great! Now that you've thought about: learning objectives, possible challenges faced by learners, content, sequencing/rhythm, and learning activities... 

It's time to take a step back and reflect on the sensory aspect of the learning experience. Sure, it's an online learning experience — but that doesn't mean it can't include offline, asynchronous formats or other ideas to take learning beyond the screen.

What are some words to describe how you want the learning experience to look and feel like for your learners?

A Japanese, slow-food "kaiseki" approach to designing educational experiences:

From start to finish, our goal is to craft a meaningful sequence of learning events that will give our students the taste, texture, appearance & colors of new and relevant knowledge.

Re-usability of H5P content is one of the key ingredients that makes this technology useful. In this tutorial, we'll cover some of the basics on how to re-use templates provided by Learnful to speed up your H5P content creation.

For the purpose of this tutorial, we'll be using the Architecture Template provided by Learnful.

Topics we'll cover:

• Creating a copy of the template for our own use
• Editing the template to make it fit our needs
• Licensing and attributing the original work
• Creating our own template from this template

The purpose of templates

First, a little bit about templates. Templates provide a framework or foundation for our content. Templates can provide design and structure queues, as well as graphic assets to speed up our content creation.

The idea of templates is that you simply need to swap out the content with your own, and your done!

Copying the Template

Below you'll find an h5p course presentation titled "Architecture Template". We'll be using and customizing this template in this tutorial.

Step 2: Creating a copy of our own

In this step we'll Paste the template we just copied thereby creating our own unique copy of the template.

Let's launch the h5p editor and find the paste button. Clicking on the Paste button will create a new h5p resource using the template.
