H5P

You can create an H5P activity either in Brightspace or on H5P's website. Due to the variety of choices, we will not be going through every step of creating an H5P activity. You will need to do the following to create an H5P activity:

1. In your course, go to Content

2. Select Existing Activity

3. Click on H5P

4. Select Add Content

5. Click on the activity that you wish to create (Drag and Drop, Interactive Video, etc.)

6. Fill the activity with your content

7. Scroll to the bottom and click LTI Settings

8. Click on the dropdown menu to select one of the scoring options

   1. Do not send score: Will not send a score to Brightspace

   2. First Attempt: Will send only the first attempt score from a student to Brightspace

   3. Last Attempt: Will send only the latest attempt score from a student to Brightspace

   4. Best Attempt: Will send only the best attempt score from a student to Brightspace

9. Select Save and Insert when done

You can add a graded activity by doing the following:

1. In your course, go to Content

2. Select the module you wish to add the activity to

3. Click Existing Activity

4. Select H5P

5. Find the activity you wish to add and click the Insert button next to it

   1. If you have not created the item yet, you can create it in this window and then insert it. Please note that you will need to make sure to choose which grade to send in the LTI Settings towards the bottom when creating your activity.

The page will then reload and your H5P activity should be at the bottom of the module

6. Click on the activity

7. Scroll down and select 'Add a grade item...'

8. Click '+ New Grade Item' to create a new Grade Item for the activity

   1. If you already have a Grade Item created, click the dropdown menu and select the Grade Item you wish to attach the activity to.

9. Once the grade item has been created/selected, click Save

From there, students can go through the activity and H5P will automatically send their grade to the associated Grade Item. Please note that H5P sends over a percentage score, so if your Grade Item is set to 10 points, the student's grade will be the percentage out of those 10 points. For example, if your H5P activity is out of 25 points, the Grade Item is out of 10 points, and the student scored 13 points, then they will have earned 52% which will turn into 5/10 in Brightspace. 

By default, Brightspace will round a score up or down, so some grade schemes may mark a student's attempt as failed even though Brightspace rounded up their score. We recommend checking your H5P report to double-check what the student earned.

You can add a non-graded activity by doing the following:

1. In your course, go to Content

2. Select Upload/Create

3. Click Create a File

4. Add a Title for the file

5. Select Insert Stuff

6. Click H5P

7. Select Insert next to the non-graded activity

   1. If you do not have the activity yet, click Add Content at the top to create a new activity

8. Click Insert again

9. Select Save when done

From there, students can access and work through your activity without being graded on their progress. You can also add these activities to your Announcements, Activity Feed, Discussions, and anywhere else you can use Insert Stuff. Please note that you must have your H5P activity set to 'Do not send score' under the LTI Settings section, otherwise, H5P will automatically create a Grade Item once the first student has completed the activity.

Below is a list of the various H5P activities that you can create through our integration. If you ever want to learn more about these activities, you can either click Details next to the activity in the H5P integration, or you can go to H5P.org and see various examples.
