In addition to these core courses, some colleges offer Spanish for Heritage Speakers I and Spanish for Heritage Speakers II; whenever possible, OER for these courses have been included. Are you using an OER that has not been recognized here? Please let us know.

H5P content is responsive and mobile friendly, which means that users will experience the same rich, interactive content on computers, smartphones and tablets alike.

Share rich content

H5P enables existing CMSs and LMSs to create richer content. With H5P, authors may create and edit interactive videos, presentations, games, advertisements and more. Content may be imported and exported. All that is needed to view or edit H5P content is a web browser. H5P content types and applications are shared here on H5P.org. H5P content may be created on any H5P enabled web site like H5P.com or your own Drupal or WordPress site with the H5P plugin installed.

Free to use

H5P is a completely free and open technology, licensed with the MIT license. Demos/downloads, tutorials and documentation are all available for users who want to join the community.

Check out the content types

There are several H5P content types and applications to suit various needs.

Need help with H5P?

¡Naveguemos Juntos! was created for students taking the first year of Spanish. It is intended as an introductory Spanish course that covers levels 1 and 2 at community colleges. All resources found here are free! Instructors can use it as is, download a PDF of all the activities, or incorporate it in the LMS of their college (including Canvas). Furthermore, instructors have the option to adapt, edit, modify, and create their own version by using the LibreTexts' Remixer tool.

Cristina, I use Padlet (the free version) They don't pay me as much here at Chaffey. Students enjoy it. With the accessibility issue, I write a disclaimer when I describe the activity in Canvas. I tell students if the activity is not available to them, they should let me know. Then I create something accessible for them.

H5P has been employed by faculty to create interactive activities. As explained on its website, it "makes it easy to create, share and reuse HTML5 content and applications. H5P empowers everyone to create rich and interactive web experiences more efficiently - all you need is a web browser and a web site with an H5P plugin."

As is often the case with tools that make content more dynamic, the ASCCC OERI has identified a number of accessibility issues with H5P. We have shared the issues with the H5P developers and are anticipating that the platform will be more accessible in the future. In the meantime, we have prepared an H5P Content Authoring Accessibility Guide ( H5P Content Authoring Accessibility Guide - Word) to assist those faculty who want to use this tool.

Open Educational Resources (OER) provide an opportunity to not merely provide your students with a no-cost text, they allow you to modify that text to meet your teaching style. LibreTexts provides a simplified means of editing, combining, and reordering OER. And now LibreTexts offers Adapt, a homework system integrated into LibreTexts - and your OER. This hands-on workshop will demonstrate the use of LibreTexts and Adapt and provide you with an opportunity to experience the power of both.

Los siguientes materiales han sido escritos para usarlos en cursos de hablantes de herencia del español. Las primeras 3 unidades fueron creadas como OER y las comparto a continuación, esperando que les sean de utilidad.

La filosofía detrás de estos materiales es:

- Fortalecer la capacidad de los estudiantes de usar registros formales y distinguirlos de los coloquiales.

- Fortalecer la identidad cultural.

- Entender las diferencias entre el "espanglish" y el español normativo y aprender a "traducirlo" para alguien que no hable inglés.

- Aprender sobre la diversidad lingüística y cultural de los países hispanos.

- Mejorar el conocimiento metalingüístico de los estudiantes.

- Ampliar su vocabulario y, en general, su dominio del idioma para discutir y analizar temas más allá de la vida diaria.
UNIDAD A: Nuestra identidad
Temas principales

Lengua: El alfabeto, los números (ortografía), partes de la lengua, sílaba, la interferencia del inglés en la ortografía.

Cultura: ¿Hispano o Latino?, Los apellidos, Cambio de código.
UNIDAD B: El idioma español
Temas principales

Lengua: La conjugación y el presente indicativo (regular, con cambio en el radical, irregular y reflexivo); Cognados falsos; los acentos

Cultura: La historia del español; el lenguaje coloquial; el español en el mund; El concepto de registro
UNIDAD C: La comida y la identidad cultural
Temas principales

Lengua: El presente progresivo; Prefijos y sufijos; calcos y anglicismos; la puntuación; homófonos (ortografía).

Cultura: Comida y cultura; el alfajor

Otra opción: Con el paso del tiempo seguí escribiendo materiales. Mejoré y añadí numerosas actividades a las primeras unidades y escribí ocho unidades adicionales. Están publicadas como tres libros de texto en Amazon a un bajo costo para continuar con la filosofía de OER.

Español para hablantes de herencia (primer semestre). 5 unidades. (151 páginas).

Español para hablantes de herencia (segundo semestre) 5 unidades. (168 páginas).

Español para hablantes de herencia (Primer y segundo semestre). 12 unidades. (373 páginas). Disponible también en Barnes & Noble.

Entrada libre is an intermediate/advanced college-level Spanish OER grammar manual for second language learners and heritage speakers of Spanish at the community college level. Instructors will be able to download the entire manual as well as the H5P activities library or use the OER Remixer from LibreTexts to adapt, edit, and customize content and publish it in their LMS. Each of the 24 units includes a reading with examples of the grammar points used in context, grammar explanation, and self-graded follow-up activities for practice using H5P as a formative assessment. Entrada libre can be used with , an existing open-access project created by the University of Kansas which contains great cultural readings and resources for intermediate and advanced levels.
