On November 1, 2026 McMaster University’s contract with D2L (Avenue to Learn) will be renewed. As part of that five-year renewal, the institution will get access to an additional package called Creator+. This suite of tools will help instructors create more engaging content and interactive elements in their Avenue courses without any coding knowledge necessary. Additionally, instructors will get access to a suite of Creator+ tools as well as H5P Enterprise, which works with Avenue to Learn, and anywhere that allows embedded content. All instructors will be able to access H5P through Avenue and through a separate login page.
Starting October 7 we will begin a recurring Lunch and Learn Series to answer your questions about Creator+ and H5P. These sessions run until March 3, 2027. Additional support can be accessed during our regular support hours 8:30am-6:00pm Monday through Friday, at avenue@mcmaster.ca.
Ask questions and learn more about what instructors can do with Creator+ and H5P or connect with us for a one-on-one consultation or small group presentation.
Event Details Date: Recurring – October 7, 2026 – May 3, 2027 Time: 12pm – 1pm Location: Blended/Online Community of Practice – Avenue to Learn subchannel
Creator+ is a suite of tools made by D2L, which are aimed at making content creation within Avenue to Learn easier for instructors and more interactive for students. All courses in Avenue to Learn will have access to Creator+ functions through the HTML Editor.
As part of the Creator+ package, we also get access to H5P Enterprise. H5P has been hosted at eCampus Ontario for years, and a number of you have been using that to add interactivity to Pressbooks, Avenue courses, and pretty much everywhere an embed can work. Now H5P is available to everyone at McMaster. We’ll announce the login location on November 1.
