Content types that address similar material or share a common theme can now be grouped together to create a coherent learning experience. In addition, authors are free to be creative by combining almost all of the existing H5P content types. 

    H5P Column is also a way to easily share multiple content types simultaneously as it can be embedded or downloaded just like any other H5P. 





  • Course Presentation

    Course presentations consist of slides with multimedia, text, and many different types of interactions like interactive summaries, multiple choice questions and interactive videos. Learners can experience new interactive learning material and test their knowledge and memory in Course Presentations. As always with H5P, content is editable in web browsers, and the Course Presentation activity type includes a WYSIWYG drag and drop based authoring tool.

    A typical use of the Course Presentation activity is to use a few slides to introduce a subject and follow these with a few more slides in which the user’s knowledge is tested. Course Presentations may however be used in many different ways, including as a presentation tool for use in the classroom, or as a game where the usual navigation is replaced with navigation buttons on top of the slides to let the user make choices and see the consequences of their choices.

    Several options will allow you to control the exercise's difficulty. You can optionally add a second audio sample for a sentence that could hold a version spoken slowly. You can also set a limit for how often a sample can be played, define if punctuation should be relevant for scoring, and decide whether small mistakes like typing errors should be counted as no mistake, a full mistake, or just a half mistake.

    Learn how to create Dictations in this tutorial.





  • Documentation Tool

    The documentation tool aims to make it easy to create assessment wizards for goal driven activities. It can also be used as a form wizard.

    While editing, the author can add multiple steps to the wizard. In each step, the author can define which content goes into that step. Content can be plain text, input fields, goal definition and goal assessment. 

    Once published, the end user will be taken through the steps of the wizard. On the last step of the wizard, the user can generate a document with all the input that has been submitted. This document can be downloaded.

    The Documentation tool is fully responsive and works great on smaller screens as well as on your desktop. 

    Learn how to create Documentation tool in this tutorial.



  • Drag and Drop

    Drag and drop questions enable the learner to associate two or more elements and to make logical connections in a visual way. Create Drag and drop questions using both text and images as draggable alternatives. H5P Drag and drop questions support multiple draggable to drop zone combinations; one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-one and many-to-many.

    Learn how to create a Drag and drop question in this tutorial.

    Drag and drop questions may be used standalone, but can also be included in:






  • Drag the Words

    Drag the Words allows content designers to create textual expressions with missing pieces of text. The end user drags a missing piece of text to its correct place, to form a complete expression.

    May be used to check if the user remembers a text she has read, or if she understands something. Helps the user think through a text.

    It's super easy to create a drag the words task. The editor just writes the text and encloses the words that are to be draggable with asterix signs like *draggableWord*.

    Features
    • Add as many expressions and missing pieces of text as you like
    • A hint may be added to each missing piece of text
    • Drag the Words can be included in PresentationInteractive video and Question set content types

    Learn how to create Drag the Words in this tutorial.



  • Essay

    The text which students created will be scanned for keywords that have been defined by an author before. Several options allow to make this rather simple approach still quite flexible for giving feedback.

    Authors can restrict the number of characters that the students may use to cover all the important aspects of a given topic. This way they can stimulate cognitive efforts that are needed to distinguish between important facts and less relevant details. Also, authors cannot only award points for keywords that have been found (multiple times), but they can provide verbal feedback. If a crucial keyword is missing, one could e.g. point out that an important aspect seems to have been neglected and should be considered when writing the next iteration of the text. On the contrary, if a keyword is found, one could praise the student and confirm the significance of the aspect which the word represents.

    The content type does not replace grading by teachers, but could assist them.

  • Fill in the Blanks

    Learners fill in the missing words in a text. The learner is shown a solution after filling in all the missing words, or after each word depending on settings.

    Authors enter text and mark words to be replaced with an asterix. In addition to native and second language learning, Fill in the blanks can be used to test the learner's ability to reproduce facts or produce mathematical inferences. 

    Learn how to create Fill in the blanks in this tutorial.





  • Fill in the Blanks - Advanced

    Learners fill in the missing words in a text or choose the correct answer from a drop-down menu. For each blank, the learners are told if the entered answer is correct. If an answer is incorrect, an individual feedback text is shown for the exact mistake they've made and their attention is drawn to relevant parts of the text. If they only make a minor mistake, they get a warning message telling them what the exact problem is.

    Authors enter text and mark blanks with ____. The correct answers, incorrect answers, and the respective feedback texts are then entered in another section below. Authors can also mark parts of the text as 'highlight sections' by surrounding them with !!. They can then reference these highlight sections when they enter the feedback texts for incorrect answers.

    'Advanced Fill in the Blanks's is most useful in second language learning, where you can give the users individual hints, why certain tenses or word forms can't be used in this case. While it is possible to have a 'Check' button at the bottom of the exercise and give feedback for all blanks at once, it makes more sense to enable the auto-check setting as the user is guided through the 'fill the blanks' exercise step by step.

    If you don't want to use individual feedback or 'drop-down' mode, the regular 'Fill in the Blanks' content type is easier to use and might be the better choice.



  • Find Multiple Hotspots

    This content type can be used for questions where the end users for instance are to find all the hotspots in an image. The end users are provided with relevant feedback based on where they click.

Interactive videos are created and edited using the H5P authoring tool in a standard web browser.

    Learn how to create Interactive videos in this tutorial.


    This Interactive Video demonstrates some of the key features. You can add many different types of questions and informational resources. Interactions may or may not pause the video when they appear. They may appear directly or as a button that users can choose to click to reveal the resource. Questions may be adaptive in the sense that the user's answer determines where the user is sent after the answer is provided.


    Here we demonstrate how Interactive Video may be used to create a game. We've disabled skipping forward in the video under "Behavioural settings" and instead added hidden layers on top of the video that users click to navigate in the video.

  • Mark the Words

    Mark the words allows content designers to create textual expressions with a defined set of correct words. The end user highlights words according to the task description and is given a score.
