Tips for using H5P

Create H5P activities in the Content bank

It is recommended that you build your H5P activities in the content bank. Once created in the Content Bank, you can easily:

Embed H5P activities

Using the H5P icon in the ATTO text editor, you can embed H5P interactive activities in Moodle easily. Embedded H5P activities are not linked to the Moodle Gradebook.

Create graded H5P activities

You can create a graded H5P activity that is linked to the Moodle Gradebook using the Add an activity or resource. This allows you to grade the H5P activity and enable attempt tracking. Any question attempts are marked automatically, and the grade is recorded in the gradebook.

Note

Though you can use H5P for graded activities, grading is limited. You can view details of the completed activities and view a very general completion overview report. As H5P does not have a collective database, it is also not recommended for group work or collaborative tasks. As H5P uses pre-built layouts and designs, complex visual or behavioural customisation may not be possible. You may need to consider other technologies for more control and customization.

Combine multiple H5P activities

There are a number of activity types that allow you to integrate multiple H5P activity types into one H5P activity, such as the Course Presentation, Column and Interactive book.

Course Presentations allows you to combine multiple H5P interactive content types by creating multiple slides, the Column activity allows you to do this on one long scrolling page, while the interactive book allows you to do this through multiple pages.

You can include links, pictures, audio and video clips, various question types and exportable text areas.
