Interactive Content – H5P

Description

One of the great benefits with using H5P is that it gives you access to lots of different interactive content types, such as presentation, interactive video, memory game, quiz, multiple choice, timeline, collage, hotspots, drag and drop, cloze test (fill in the blanks), personality quiz, accordion, flash cards, audio recorder.

Another great benefit with H5P is that it allows you to easily share and reuse content. To use content created with H5P, you simply insert a shortcode [h5p Id="1"] where you wish for the content to appear. To reuse content, you just download the H5P you would like to edit and make your changes – e.g. translate to a new language or adjust it to a new situation.

H5P is:

  • Open Source
  • Free to Use
  • HTML5
  • Responsive

The H5P community is actively contributing to improve H5P. Updates and new features are continuously made available on the community portal H5P.org.

As a teacher, this is enabling me to create the online course I’ve always wanted to develop. It’s easy to use and delivers GREAT results.

I’m a teacher with my own LMS. I have been using H5P for as long as I can remember. Never have I had any bugs or issues. The content types like MC, fill in the blanks, matching, etc ar limitless. It’s by far the best quiz plugin available. And it’s free. I wish I could pay 50 dollars on a yearly basis. I really do. Maybe the support could be a little better/quicker, but besides that it’s really perfect. Thank you for the amazing opportunities you have been giving me. 5 stars without a doubt, Gijs
