In reply to Stuart. Stuart, I am using my unique position as a teacher/developer to nudge learning objects to incorporate more activity and inquiry, while running blended learning classes. I am taking notes, revising and hope to have more answers for a future post.

That’s a very useful reflection John !
I’ve always felt that most SCORM creation applications are way beyond the skills and time of most teachers.
Something like H5P does change the game a little, because it’s relatively quick and easy to create interactive content, and quick and easy to edit it later (unlike most SCORM packages).
Certainly many of the items you have listed above will help.
It’s all too easy to make this type of content … well … all too easy !
As you say, rather than trying to replicate YouTube movies, hours of SCORM content, or multiple choice activities than encourage “don’t think just click” approaches, it’s far better to challenge the learner, and provide something that isn’t about consuming data, but rather evaluating and interacting with it in some way.
