METODOLOGIAS ATIVAS MEDIADAS POR TECNOLOGIAS DIGITAIS: UMA EXPERIÊNCIA COM O USO DO H5P NO ENSINO A DISTÂNCIA

Abstract

This study discusses the fundamental role of Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) in professional training, focusing on the issues of dropout and lack of motivation in Distance Education (DE). The main objective is to present a proposal for using gamification and the H5P tool within the Moodle environment to foster student engagement and interaction. The methodology is applied and qualitative, based on exploratory and descriptive research with a bibliographic review spanning from 2020 to 2025. The paper details how H5P, an open-source framework, enables the creation of interactive content, such as videos that pause for mandatory quizzes, ensuring students maintain focus during lessons. The results demonstrate the technical feasibility of this integration, showing that H5P interactions and scores can be automatically recorded in the Moodle Gradebook via xAPI or LTI protocols. It is concluded that combining Moodle's infrastructure with H5P's gamified interactivity transforms student passivity into agency, replacing traditional video lessons with immersive experiences and instant feedback. Further practical application of this model in real classrooms is recommended to statistically measure its impact on reducing dropout rates and optimizing academic performance.
