With the latest Smart Import update, authors can now customize H5P content based on specific learning objectives for their audience.
This new feature empowers content creators to generate activities better aligned with their students' needs and skill levels, offering in-depth customization options within Smart Import.
The overall look and feel of Smart Import remain consistent, with the addition of an optional setting. After uploading a content source, creators can prompt the generative AI to tailor H5Ps according to the specified learning objectives.
Customization Examples
For these examples, we used the article Our Sun: Facts as the source to demonstrate the flexibility and effectiveness of the Smart Import Customization feature.
We’ll cover:
- No Customization
- Customizing Based On User Groups
- Customizing Focused On User Output
- Customizing With Learning Objectives
Additionally, we’ll discuss:
No Customization
Without customization (or using the basic Smart Import), the generative AI processes the entire content source to extract key concepts.
This approach provides a broad overview without focusing on specific objectives or audiences.
For example, using the article; Our Sun: Facts, the key concepts generated
Customizing Based On User Groups
The customization feature can tailor content for specific user groups.
Example prompt: Make the content relevant for 6-year-olds.
Using this input, Smart Import adjusts the concepts and tone of the content to be age-appropriate. For example, a Question Set tailored to 6-year-olds presents simplified language and relatable concepts, making the material engaging and easy to understand.
Customizing Focused On User Output
Smart Import also allows creators to emphasize specific topics or areas within the source material.
Example prompt: Focus on the planets and dwarf planets.
In this case, Smart Import extracts and organizes key concepts centered on planets and dwarf planets, streamlining the content generation process without requiring manual filtering.
Customizing With Learning Objectives
Smart Import enables users to align content with specific learning objectives.
Example prompt: The learner should be able to explain the main events in the formation of the solar system.
The resulting content emphasizes relevant concepts, ensuring all materials support the stated learning goal. For example, the H5P activity might guide learners through the key events in the solar system's formation, reinforcing the objective throughout.
What Works Best
- Focused instructions: Prompts that direct the AI to prioritize specific parts of the content or concepts yield the best results.
- Rich, well-structured inputs: Using extensive, detailed sources (e.g., well-formatted articles or documents) enhances the quality and precision of generated content.
What Doesn’t Work as Expected
- Format-based instructions: Prompts like “Create a summary of less than 300 words” are unnecessary, as Smart Import already offers built-in content types, such as summaries.
- Instructions outside the input scope: Requests that go beyond the provided source material, such as “Explain the formation of the Universe” when the input is limited to the solar system, cannot be fulfilled effectively.
Prompt Templates
To maximize the potential of Smart Import, consider using prompts like:
- The learner should be able to explain…
- Make the content relevant for…
- Focus on…
