Abstract
This study explores the integration of H5P interactive videos within a flipped classroom model to support active learning in an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) course at a Japanese university. Using Moodle as the learning management system, students accessed short instructional videos embedded with interactive elements such as quizzes and prompts prior to in-class sessions. The goals of the study were two-fold: to explore students' perceptions of the experience and gain insight into how H5P videos can be used to support active learning. Quantitative data from activity completion logs and a post-course questionnaire, along with qualitative feedback, suggest that most students responded positively to the format. Results also indicate that the videos deepened learning and enhanced active learning opportunities in the classroom. However, some students did not complete all videos, highlighting the need for accountability structures such as conditional access settings. This paper discusses the pedagogical implications of combining H5P with flipped instruction and offers practical recommendations for instructors aiming to incorporate interactive video tools into their language classrooms.
