Using H5P Services to Enhance the Student Evaluation Process in Programming Courses at the Universidad Politécnica Salesiana (Guayaquil, Ecuador)

Abstract:

This study analyzes the effectiveness of H5P services used to create interactive student evaluations on a Moodle platform. The content evaluated in this study comes from the Universidad Politécnica Salesiana (Guayaquil, Ecuador) Programing Course syllabus. Study participants are first year university students (18–20 years old). The students participate in a learning validation experience through Python Experiential Educational Platform (PEEP), designed for this purpose. A 75% improvement in retention of acquired knowledge is achieved by using active learning strategies during assessment. With H5P technology professors can reuse audio and video material previously recorded, together with the material they generate in each new class, allowing them to reuse resources not only for informative or didactic explanation, but also as an interactive evaluation resource made possible by interactive technologies designed for this purpose.
