Instructions on how to make video eBooks:
- Sign up and search on Vimeo to find a video less than < 1 min.(Or you could use own video from your own mobile phone video gallery)
- Restrict your filter for videos licensed as CC-BY. I found this video that will appeal to children 7 - 10 yrs of age: https://vimeo.com/22534900
- Download a small SD version of this video to your computer - 640 x 360 (1mb - 2 mb)
- Register to the free H5P Editor at www.h5p.org . Start a new item and choose Interactive Video: https://h5p.org/node/add/h5p-content
- Select the + sign to upload the Video you previously downloaded from Vimeo. Add a title and copyright / licensing details - CC-BY and the URL where you found the video
- Add Interactions. We will only add the T text captions for this Video eBook. Type in the caption and how long you want it displayed. Select the option to PAUSE the video for each new caption. Unselect the option to show caption as a button. Repeat for more sentences.
- Select Save and you are finished! See an example:https://h5p.org/node/4159
- Please email the file to our team so that we can review and translate them into different languages. We will share them with underserved children around the world: Natalie@dev4x.com
- These children, and their families will also make Video eBooks, and share them back with the global community.Each book will be a mirror of their own world, or a window into someone else's far away life. We are aiming for diversity and will tag the content to assist with filtering.
