Interactive Textbook: Historical Geology
Instructor Overview
This collection of interactive h5p books is used as a textbook for a semester-long general education college-level Historical Geology class at College of San Mateo
Accessibility Note: the h5p books and components have been reviewed by the author for maximum accessibility, including testing them with VoiceOver on a mobile phone. For students who rely on a screen reader, I recommend a 1-on-1 the first week of the semester to go through one tutorial together and be sure they understand how things are laid out. All tutorials have a standardized review of instructions prior to particular components that require it.
