2024-2025 H5P I Mua Program
About the Cohort
Note: The 2023-2024 H5P I Mua program cohort has concluded as of April 2024. Visit the H5P I Mua program page for information on the latest cohort and status.
What is H5P I Mua?
H5P is an authoring tool that lets you create simple interactive content and activities like interactive videos, quizzes, games, presentations, and more. In 2021, University of Hawaiʻi created the H5P + Laulima program for new participants. With the continued growth and expansion of the UH H5P programs and pathways, there was a desire for an opportunity that allowed those who wanted to continue their involvement with UH H5P in a deeper capacity.
In 2023, the H5P I Mua program was created to allow alumni participants who successfully completed the H5P + Laulima cohort program to “i mua.” or move forward. The naming of the program aligns with the intention for alumni to advance forward and continue leveraging H5P, while also serving as a mentor and advocate for the UH H5P initiatives. This small hui (group) will each create personalized action plans to support and advocate for UH H5P programs and pathways in their new capacity as H5P I Mua participants.
