Public Librarian Cohort Train the Trainer
Topic outline
-
Description:
The Librarian Cohort is a spring learning community and delivered in synchronously and asynchronously online. We will continue to use this space throughout all phases of the grant for information and resource sharing.
This learning community is intended to provide train-the-trainer instruction. Collectively, we will explore open education, open educational resources, textbook publishing, and related issues, technology, and impacts in terms of curriculum and teaching and learning. Through this train-the-train, you will gain the confidence and capacity teaching the materials to your faculty cohort.
Cohort Goals:
- Create a community by connecting librarians from across the state in a supportive learning environment,
- Provide introduction to open education and to the infrastructure for open publishing (Pressbooks) and open course design (Moodle template) and corresponding tools and skills,
- Provide professional development to enable librarian leaders to apply their expertise and iterate on this training to share information to their faculty cohorts effectively, respond to participant questions, and lead work.
Instructional Technologies:
Through this experience, participants will use Google Drive, Moodle, Pressbooks, Zoom, and OER repositories.
Schedule:
Our cohort activity is structured into two-week module. The specifics of each module will be shared via this Moodle, with activities/readings to be completed prior to that module's Zoom meeting.

Explore H5P
- Read the brief chapter What is H5P? from the resource Adding Interactivity to Pressbooks. You can explore each Content Type and see an example of it by following links with each resource.
- Using Pressbooks Directory, limit to resources with some number of H5P activities (10, 50, 100 etc.) using the menu on the right. Explore the results to review some of the H5P content types embedded within them. Note your experience.
- Search for your broad subject area using the Pressbooks Directory and again limit to resources with some number of H5P activities and see if there are resources with H5P. Interact with some and note your experience.
- If you're not finding resources in your broad subject area, you can also take a look at eCampusOntario H5P Studio's Catalogue of H5P Content.
- Using one specific H5P element from your review, determine what Content Type it is. For that Content Type, review this document, Content Type Recommendations, to determine if it is accessible.
Be prepared to share findings.
