Step 2: Assign the Task

As pre-activity – Students can be assigned the task for homework at a preceding lesson with follow-up material.

During the Class – Students can be assigned this activity during class in which case students may need to use headphones to listen to the audio. The follow-up activity can proceed afterwards.

Homework (post lesson) – Students can be assigned this activity as additional practice of material utilized in class.

Caveats and Alternatives

H5P lessons can be individual and structured or involve interaction between learners and include free-practice tasks. What content is used and how the lesson is planned depends on the creativity of the teacher or content creator.
