‘H5P’ is an abbreviation for ‘HTML5 package’ – interactive content such as presentations, videos and other multimedia, questions, quizzes, games and more. This feature allows HTML5 assets to be added to a course.

Any question attempts in the H5P are marked automatically and the grade is recorded in the gradebook.

This feature allows you to upload an existing H5P file that you have created on the H5P website. To add an H5P activity to a page in your Moodle book, place the cursor at the point in the course content where you want to add it and click on the Insert H5P content icon.

This will open a new pop-up window with the heading Insert H5P content.

If your H5P activity has a URL, copy and paste it into the H5P URL or file upload field.

If your H5P activity is a file, click on the Browse repositories button.

In the new pop-up window with the heading File picker, click on the Choose File button and navigate to the file you want to add. Add the name of whoever created or owns the file in the Author box and select the appropriate licence in Choose licence. Then click on the Upload this file button.

Returning to the Insert H5P content pop-up window, there are two drop-down lists with further options. Under H5P options you can choose whether you want to allow the H5P activity to be downloaded, or to include embed or copyright buttons; under Display options you can choose whether you want to allow the H5P activity to play automatically in the mobile app.

Click on Insert H5P content.
