What is H5P?
H5P is a toolkit for digital content creation based on the HTML5 Package of technologies. If you have interacted with text, images, videos, or other objects online, you have probably already used H5P content. More importantly, H5P has made building your own interactive content as easy as drag and drop. Educators and support staff have begun creating and integrating digital presentations, assessments, review material, and other rich, engaging tasks to their classrooms. This document presents a summary of what is possible with the H5P toolkit and how UVA instructors can inquire about joining the digital content author community at our University.
What does H5P look like and how does it work?
- H5P provides 26 tools to develop interactive material to teach, review, and assess (with support for all major languages).
- The course presentation, interactive video, and quiz or question set are examples of the most popular and versatile of H5P types.
- H5P content maker can be integrated into Collab, where course material will be created and stored, including a connection to Gradebook.
- Software automatically tracks, displays individual and class results for activity.
- Coming soon: H5P community content bank (OER) for sharing content you made and discovering what others have created.
3 Steps to H5P-powered Content
1. Choose your activity type
2. Upload your base material (slides, lecture video, etc)
3. Write interactions (notes, comprehension checks, etc)
