Abstract

This study explores the satisfaction levels of Open University Malaysia (OUM) learners with HTML5 package (H5P)-developed interactive content in open and distance learning (ODL). The research objectives include examining learners’ perceptions of H5P-generated content in terms of usability, interactivity, and relevance, and assessing learners’ satisfaction levels with H5P in terms of overall effectiveness and engagement. Despite the extensive research on H5P across various educational contexts, its particular use in ODL remains underexplored. This paper offers an in-depth perspective on how H5P enhances learner experiences in ODL, as well as highlights critical factors that affect learner satisfaction. This will be beneficial for instructional designers and educators who seek to improve engagement within self-instructional materials. The findings indicate that 85% of participants reported higher levels of engagement with H5P content, according to quantitative data. Additionally, according to 80% of students, interactive materials created using H5P enhanced their comprehension of the material. This suggests that H5P holds promise as an effective tool for enhancing learner engagement and satisfaction in ODL contexts. The study contributes to the growing body of literature on technology-enhanced learning by providing insights into the use of interactive content tools like H5P in ODL environments.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the world in unimaginable ways. The repercussions of the pandemic continue until today and one of the most impacted sectors was education. Learning institutions were required to be more creative as face-to-face (F2F) learning could not be held. Hence, Open University Malaysia (OUM) has produced digital learning materials using hypertext markup language (HTML), HTML5 package (H5P) as a technology tool. This concept research paper is a continuation from a research article by OUM entitled measuring the impact of COVID-19 pandemic for continuous development of learning materials. The objectives of this paper are to investigate the impact of adding interactivity to learning materials specifically in H5P format and to identify how impactful the integration of H5P learning materials in the open and distance learning (ODL) environment is. This qualitative study used a mixed method approach involving semi-structured interview and purposive sampling. The findings show approximately 82% of participants were motivated to complete all H5P activities, although about 63% felt that these activities were time-consuming. The interactive components of H5P successfully engage learners in assessment tasks, in the long run, it might lead to boredom due to the perceived time demands associated with these activities.
