What is H5P?

What is H5P?

H5P is an authoring tool that makes it easy to create, share and reuse learning activities. 

H5P allows users to create rich and interactive web experiences - all you need is a web browser and a web site with an H5P plugin.

• Websites that support the H5P plug in are WordPress, Pressbooks, Drupal and Moodle. 

• Learning management systems (LMS) that support H5P integration are Brightspace, Blackboard and Canvas (paid account). 

• This Course Presentation shows you some of the possible activities you can create in H5P.

Learner reports for H5P require a paid account, otherwise it is free to use.

Once your H5P activities are hosted somewhere, you can embed them into any site ... such as this Google site.

• The Introduction to Blended Learning on this page of the Blended Learning Collection Google site is an embedded H5P presentation. 

• The Digital Skills Quiz on this page of the Postsecondary Digital Skills Readiness Assessment Google site is also an embedded H5P presentation. 

These H5Ps are hosted at the AlphaPlus H5P Library. 

You can learn how to use H5Ps at the AlphaPlus Educator Makerspace.

There are lots of options for activity types. You can explore the types here: h5p.org/content-types-and-applications
