Driven by new modes of information dissemination in this digital age and propelled by the necessity for online course delivery during the recent pandemic, online education, the current form of distance education, is not only the trend but the reality of teaching and learning today. It utilizes the internet and computer technology to offer flexible, expanded learning experience to students. Quality online course delivery, like the traditional in-person instruction in a classroom, requires good pedagogical practices and techniques to engage students in the learning process. Video lectures enriched with embedded interactive activities are considered an effective approach to increase teaching presence and contributes to an engaging learning experience. This paper illustrates the use of this approach with H5P integrated online modules in a college level linguistic course delivered asynchronously to students in the United States. H5P is a plugin with enriched HTML 5 content to existing lecture videos that enables interactions between the instructor and students. It brings together the learning materials such as lecture videos, handouts, and hyperlinks as well as instructional activities such as Q&A, quizzes, discussion boards, and surveys for a seamless learning experience. Video lectures with H5P integration provide high levels of interaction and engagement that approximate a physical classroom. The effectiveness of this approach was assessed with student learning outcomes in two comparable courses delivered face-to-face in a classroom and asynchronous online.
