Written Word and Number based modules
Once you have logged into the H5P website find the Create New Content button (it is usually on the Content tab of your account).
Add the name of your content to the Title field and then choose Accordion from the Select content type dropdown menu by clicking on the appropriate Use button.
Add the Title text (this is what the user will click on to expand the accordion) and the Text content (this is what the user will see when the accordion expands). It is useful to have your content broken down into sections with associated content before you complete this section. Click on the Add Panel button to add more accordion sections and repeat this process adding titles and content until your accordion in complete.
Choose whether you want to display all of your titles as headings or sub-headings. H2 will display the titles as headings and H3 will display them as sub-headings. Your choices will depend upon the format of your content and what you think looks best.
As you add content to the Text panels you will be able to edit it using the toolbar that appears - this gives you most of the basic functionality that you get in Word e.g. bullet points, italics, justification, colours and includes the ability to add hyperlinks.
Add any tags to the Tags section and choose whether you want to display the buttons listed below with your accordion. Personally I would leave all of the buttons checked as per the default settings as it gives both you and your users more flexibility. Then click on the Save button.
If you click on the Embed button at the bottom of the accordion once it has been generated, you can copy the HTML code and embed it into a web page just like this:
Once you have logged into the H5P website find the Create New Content button (it is usually on the Content tab of your account).
Add the name of your content to the Title field and then choose Arithmetic Quiz from the Select content type dropdown menu by clicking on the appropriate Use button.
Complete the Intro field - this is limited to 100 characters (which includes spaces) so think carefully about the instructions that you want to give to your students before they start the quiz.
Choose your Arithmetic type from the dropdown menu: your options are addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. You will only be able to choose one arithmetic type per quiz. You do not need to set the questions; H5P will do this for you from a randomly generated set of numbers. Please be aware that H5P only appears to use whole numbers with this module type.
Decide how many questions you want to include in your quiz by completing the Max number of questions field. Personally I would keep this number as low as possible as it does get rather tedious answering lots of questions all of the same type.
Click on the Text overrides and translations arrow to see a list of fields that control how users see their score or the titles on buttons (for example). You can leave these as the default settings as they seem to work quite well or you can choose your own settings but be warned this may take a bit of practice to get the right effect for your quiz.
Add any tags to the Tags section and choose whether you want to display the buttons listed below with your arithmetic quiz. Personally I would leave all of the buttons checked as per the default settings as it gives both you and your users more flexibility. Then click on the Save button.
If you click on the Embed button at the bottom of the arithmetic quiz once it has been generated, you can copy the HTML code and embed it into a web page just like this:
Once you have logged into the H5P website find the Create New Content button (it is usually on the Content tab of your account).
Add the name of your content to the Title field and then choose Chart from the Select content type dropdown menu by clicking on the appropriate Use button.
Choose the type of chart you want to add from the Type of chart drop down menu. Then name your first Data element by completing the Name field. In the Value field add the percentage of the chart that you want this data element to fill. Now choose the data element colour and font colour using the Color and Font Color dropdown menus.
As a minimum you will need to choose two data elements but you can add more using the Add option button.
The Text overrides and translations section can be expanded to complete the Text read by readspeakers defining the figure as a chart field. Try to be descriptive when completing this (rather than just saying 'chart' say what it is illustrating so that screenreaders will give those with sight difficulties a fuller understanding of what is on the screen.
If you chose a bar chart instead of a pie chart these fields will remain the same; it is only the resultant chart that changes.
Add any tags to the Tags section and choose whether you want to display the buttons listed above with your chart. Personally I would leave all of the buttons checked as per the default settings as it gives both you and your users more flexibility. Then click on the Save button.
If you click on the Embed button at the bottom of the chart module once it has been generated, you can copy the HTML code and embed it into a web page just like this:
Cornell Notes system is a well established way of taking notes in a structured way that is now supported by H5P. Students can follow the Cornell method to directly attach their notes and ideas to a text, a video or an audio file and retrieve their documentation later on. Works best when the function for saving the content state is enabled so that student's answers are kept.
This H5P encourages students viewing a video/attending a lecture to use the Cornell mehtod of note taking. This involves sectioning the writing page into areas.
These areas would usually be:
- Topic name and date at the top
- The Cue column including main ideas, key points, important people or dates in the left hand area
- The Notetaking column with spaces in between each line in the centre of the page
- The Summary at the bottom of the page.
The image below shows what this might look like.
Dialog cards can be used as a drill to help learners memorize words, expressions or sentences. On the front of the card, there's a hint for a word or expression. By turning the card the learner reveals a corresponding word or expression.
Dialog cards can be used in language learning, to present math problems or help learners remember facts such as historical events, formulas or names.
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.
May be used to check if the user remembers a text they have read, or if they understands something. Helps the user think through a text.
Authors can define a set of keywords that will trigger individual responses if they are found or missing in the text. hese keywords are matched against a text that students have composed and can be used to immediately provide feedback - either suggesting to revise certain topic details if a keyword is missing or, confirming the student's ideas if the text contains a keyword.
Several options allow to make this rather simple approach still quite flexible for giving feedback.
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.
These questions offer a useful alternative to multiple‐choice because it prevents students from simply guessing an answer. Additionally, students are required to read the whole text to understand the context and to provide the correct answer. Students are notified immediately if their response is correct or incorrect. Also, the question can be responded to more than once, and students are also able to find out the correct responses if they need t
A free HTML5-based word search activity that allows authors to create a list of words that will be drawn in a grid. The learners' task is to find and select the words in the grid, essentially a good old fashioned crossword.
A free content type for creating interactive books. It allows users to put together large amounts of interactive content like interactive videos, questions, course presentations and more on multiple pages.
It can offer a variety of the already mentioned H5P tools (e.g. find the hotspot, find the words, drag the words, etc,) into one place and avoid the tedium that can be assoicated with reading a hard-copy textbook.
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.
Multiple Choice questions can be an effective assesment tool. The learner is given immediate performance feedback. The H5P Multiple Choice questions can have a single or multiple correct options per question.
Once you have logged into the H5P website find the Create New Content button (it is usually on the Content tab of your account).
Add the name of your content to the Title field and then choose Questionnaire from the Select content type dropdown menu by clicking on the appropriate Use button.
The terminology is a little strange but you are then presented with a series of options to choose how your questionnaire will look and behave. Click on the down arrow under Library to choose whether your element (question) is a Simple Multi Choice or an Open Ended Question. You will need to do this for each question (element) that you add. Each question will be displayed under the Questionnaire elements section on the left hand side of the screen. You can reorder the questions using the appropriate up and down arrows and delete the questions using the relevant cross button from here too.
Add your question text to the Question field. Then choose whether you want the participants to choose one or more answers from the Multiple choice type drop down menu.
Add your first answer option to the Answer alternatives Text field.
Click on the Feedback down arrow to expand the feedback fields and add your responses for selected and not selected feedback. You can ignore these fields if there is no correct answer (as in this demographic example).
Click on the Add alternative button to add more answer options and choose whether you want to make the question mandatory or not by ticking the Required field checkbox.
The next set of fields are the messages that display for example if you have chosen to make a particular question mandatory and participants do not complete the question. You can leave these as per the default options as these seem to work quite well.
Add any tags to the Tags section and choose whether you want to display the buttons listed below with your questionnaire. Personally I would leave all of the buttons checked as per the default settings as it gives both you and your users more flexibility. Then click on the Save button.
If you click on the Embed button at the bottom of the questionnaire once it has been generated, you can copy the HTML code and embed it into a web page just like this:
Create simple and smooth quizzes consisting of single choice questions. The end user gets immediate feedback after submitting each answer. Very similar to the multiple choice module except students are limited, as the name suggests, to only a single choice of answer.
Type or paste in a list of paragraphs that will be randomized. You may for instance let each paragraph be a part of a song, a block of code or the parts of a mathematical formula. Learners are to sort the paragraphs into the correct order.
Summaries help the learner remember key information in a text, video or presentation, by actively buliding a summary about the topic at hand. When the learner has completed a summary, a complete list of key statements about the topic is the end result.
True/False Question is a simple and straightforward content type that can work by itself or combined into other content types such as Course Presentation.
