Abstract

Aim: To explore the benefit and engagement of undergraduate students’ use of H5P interactive books for student learning. 

Design: An evaluation study of technology enabled learning for first year undergraduate Bachelor of Midwifery students in Australia. 

Methods: Students were invited to complete an online evaluation survey of their use and engagement with H5P interactive books. The survey included the long form User Engagement Scale which has four subscales of focused attention, aesthetic appeal, reward factor and perceived usability scored on a 5-point Likert scale. Content analysis was used to analyse the text comments given to five open text questions. 

Results: There were 21 students who completed the survey. There was a high overall User Engagement Scale score of 73.1 % with aesthetic appeal and reward factor being the highest scoring subscales. The content analysis showed students found the interactive books engaging and easy to navigate. Areas for improvement identified were not including a large amount of content and providing downloadable content. 

Conclusions: This study demonstrates the valuable and engaging use of H5P Interactive Books for undergraduate students in higher education. Students who used H5P Interactive Books identified their ease of use, organised layout and engaging format.
