H5P content, uploaded or made in the H5P editor

Interactive H5P content, such as quizzes in a video, drag and drop or flashcards, plays inside a lesson with scores kept per learner. Upload an .h5p file, or make and change content in the editor built into SmartMy Learn.

The problem it solves

  • Your trainers made interactive content in H5P, and your LMS cannot play it.
  • A teacher wants to fix a typo in a question and has to rebuild the whole file elsewhere.
  • You cannot see who finished the interactive part or how they scored.

How it works

  1. Add a lesson of kind H5P and, on its H5P tab, upload the .h5p file as saved from an H5P editor with its libraries. The title and content type are read from it.
  2. Set Score to Pass (%) if the lesson should count only at that score; 0 means done when completed.
  3. Learners play it in the player. Each score, completion and pass is kept, and the lesson is done when the content is completed (and passed, if a score is set).
  4. To make or change content here, press Make or Change in the H5P Editor on a saved H5P lesson. Choose a content type, fill in the form and Save: the lesson's file is replaced.
  5. Read results under Learn > Manage Courses > Reporting > Packages and Tools > H5P Results.

Everything it does

Playing

  • The H5P player (h5p-standalone) runs in the lesson page
  • Files are served only to people who may open the lesson and to the course's authors
  • Results per learner: Last Score, Best Score, Completed, Passed, Attempts, Last Played

The editor

  • Content types offered: those kept from .h5p files uploaded before, listed under Configuration > Outside Tools > H5P Content Types
  • To add a content type, upload any example of it on an H5P lesson
  • Form parts: text, numbers, yes or no, choices, lists with Add and Remove, groups, content inside content, images, video, audio and files
  • Parts with their own drawing tools, such as an Interactive Video timeline or drag positions, are kept as they are. Make them in another H5P editor and change the texts here

With other parts

  • H5P lessons travel in course packages
  • A file without its h5p.json is refused

Who uses it

Learn AuthorUploads, makes and changes H5P lessons and reads the results.

Where you use it

  • Web: the lesson's H5P tab; the editor at /learn/h5p/<lesson>/edit; Learn > Manage Courses > Reporting > Packages and Tools > H5P Results
  • The SmartMy Learn app: the lesson opens in the player inside the app (built and in testing, not in the app stores yet)

What you control

Settings

  • Score to Pass (%): 0 to start with, per lesson

Questions

Do we need an H5P.org account?

No. Upload .h5p files made anywhere, or make content in the editor built into SmartMy Learn.

Can every H5P content type be made here?

The types you have uploaded once can be made and changed. Parts with their own drawing tools, such as a video timeline, are made in another H5P editor; their texts can be changed here.

Is an H5P file safe to upload?

An H5P file brings its own scripts, which run in the lesson. Upload files only from sources you trust.

Do scores go to the gradebook?

H5P scores are kept under H5P Results and decide when the lesson is done.
