Active learning is a popular and proven method used in contemporary educational design and practice. H5P (https://h5p.org/) facilitates easy creation of richer HTML5. Integration of H5P content within course material provides opportunities for students as learners to think critically about what they are being taught and supports the flexibility students are requesting by extending the learning environment. A variety of activities can be developed; case study scenarios, interactive technical demonstrations, 3D images with identification of regions of interest (hotspots; roll-over information; animation), as well as quiz questions in a wide variety of differing formats; fill in the blanks, image and text-based drag and drop, mark the word, interactive video and branching scenario tasks. H5P content can be easily shared across multiple learning management systems (Canvas, Moodle, and Blackboard). Learners receive comprehensive, automatic feedback and their engagement with H5P activities can be tracked by teachers.

Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) is a powerful quality tool, widely used in industry, for the identification of failure modes, their effects and causes. In this work, we investigated the utility of FMEA in the education field to improve active learning processes. In our case study, the FMEA principles were adapted to assess the risk of failures in a Mechanical Engineering course on “Theory of Machines and Mechanisms” conducted through a project-based, collaborative “Study and Research Path (SRP)” methodology. The SRP is an active learning instruction format which is initiated by a generating question that leads to a sequence of derived questions and answers, and combines moments of study and inquiry. By applying the FMEA, the teaching team was able to identify the most critical failures of the process, and implement corrective actions to improve the SRP in the subsequent year. Thus, our work shows that FMEA represents a simple tool of risk assesment which can serve to identify criticality in educational process, and improve the quality of active learning.
