In this episode of Unfiltered by EmpowerED, we sit down with Daniel Pigou from Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University in China. Daniel, a lecturer in English for Academic Purposes shares his innovative work with H5P interactive videos. Designed to engage students and improve learning outcomes, these videos are part of a blended learning model that allows students to interact with content through gamified, quiz-like features.
Daniel discusses his journey, starting with his experiences teaching in a hybrid environment, and now focusing on creating self-study resources to build autonomy in the classroom. A highlight of the episode is Daniel’s insights on enhancing digital literacy among students and supporting fellow educators in adopting new tech tools like H5P to meet curriculum goals. He also covers the value of regular feedback, making tech tools accessible, and the challenges of balancing digital content with classroom interaction.
This episode is packed with practical advice for educators on how to enrich their blended learning offerings. Tune in to hear about Daniel’s strategies for making learning both effective and enjoyable!
