Interactive modules

4. Types of Tools for Creating Interactive Modules

As a reminder of previously discussed topics, here are examples of tools that enable the creation of interactive learning materials. These tools support different forms of interactivity aligned with pedagogical goals and various levels of learner engagement:

• H5P – enables the creation of quizzes, interactive presentations, videos with embedded questions, and many other activities.

• Genially – used for developing interactive infographics, virtual tours, or animated presentations.

• ThingLink – allows the creation of interactive images or virtual spaces with hotspots revealing additional information.

• BookWidgets – offers the creation of interactive tasks such as crosswords, tests, or digital worksheets.

• Powtoon – a tool for making animated videos, often used to explain more complex concepts.

When selecting a tool, it is important to consider:

• whether the tool supports the desired learning outcomes;

• type of content and level of interactivity required — a simple transfer of information, or it involves active learner participation through quizzes, simulations, or collaborative activities;

• accessibility of the content, ensuring that all learners, including those with diverse needs, can participate equally;

• digital skills and experience of learners, so that the use of the tool is clear, intuitive, and aligned with their abilities.
