Rocketeering WordPress with a Jetpack
Recently, in Your Goal is to be Part of Everyday, I wrote about how I can struggle with being a consistent blogger. Partly that is due to the infinite scroll of Twitter (yes, I’m still there), but partly it is the workflow for authoring on WordPress. The bar isn’t so high when I’m on a…
Post Once, Reply Twice… But Why?
This one is from the IDD Blog from the Center for Teaching and Learning at DePaul University. At some point–even prior to the start of COVID-19–most online instructors have relied on the ‘Post Once, Reply Twice’ formula for their online discussions. It is unclear where this formula originated, but like the Pot Roast Principle, there…
Your goal is to be part of the everyday
Speaking of people from the field I follow, Clea Mahoney is also trying to dedicate more time to her blog. The dedication to trying to blog every day of January is inspiring, although if I were to try it, I’d have to figure out a better writing flow. I’ve sometimes thought about things like, “what…

With this being the time of year for retrospective blog posts, I look back over the video games I’ve played this year. It felt like quite a few, and then I looked at the list and was surprised at how many there were. One theme that stood out to me is the number of games…
Using Tabs Interactions in E-Learning Revisited
Back in 2020 I completed the elearning hero challenge, Using Tabs Interactions in E-Learning (2020) #272. There I talked a little bit about when tabs might be used, and highlighted how they could be done in HTML, or using H5P. Kyle Mackie’s was probably the first example I came across demonstrating tabs in H5P through his…
Christmas came early from OTacke’s Lab
I’ve been waiting a few days to investigate new H5P content types from OTacke’s Lab (Oliver Tacke). Recently he attended an OERcamp and revealed new content types. Thank goodness for Twitter’s translate tweet feature because my German is mostly rust by now. So what is up first? We have a new content type called H5P.transcript.…
Choose Your Own Adventure Presentation – H5P Roadshow
The H5P roadshow slowed down a little bit in 2022, but I recently had the opportunity to talk with instructional designers, trainers, and other learning professionals at Saskatchewan Polytechnic about H5P. Now, I could have opened up old presentations directly, but why not try something new? This time around I took some inspiration from Alan…
