Create interactive activities for your course: Getting started with H5P

What is H5P?

H5P is a way of creating online interactive content for your course or website. You can create these items for free, although you can also use other content already created and adapt it for your own course.

Does is work with Blackboard?

Yes! In fact there are two different ways to add H5P modules to Blackboard. You can either embed an item or you can add it as a SCORM item. More information on what that means or how that is accomplished is in the videos below.

Is it complicated to use?

Not at all. It is very user-friendly. There are also lots of support documents and videos available online. It is a popular platform for teachers to use to create interactive elements for their classes.

Are there going to be workshops/training available at Douglas College on how to use it?

Yes. Not only that, but there will be a dedicated place at Douglas College for H5P resources. More on that to come!

What can you do with H5P?

There are so many different types of content you can create using H5P and it is being updated reguarly. Go to this page and click on any of the content types listed there to see a description and example.

How do I get started?

Here are two videos I created to get you started. Click on the banner images to watch the videos.

LLPA Academic Integrity Blackboard Quiz and Interactive Modules

The LLPA Academic Integrity Committee came up with a number of scenarios that are related to the different areas within LLPA. Each of these scenarios has been turned into Blackboard quiz and also some interactive elements that can be added to your Blackboard course.

Here is one example scenario that has been turned into an interactive element:

If you are wanting to use the Blackboard quiz or the interactive elements, you can find the files along with the instructions on the LLPA Blackboard Site under Additional Material. There are videos there to give you an overview of the resources along with instructions on how to install them.

Please let me know if you use these resources along with comments on how we can improve them.

Thank you.
