Using H5P to
Enhance Student Assessment
LMS INTEGRATION
H5P can be easily integrated into a number of web publishing platforms, such as Canvas, Blackboard and Moodle. We will focus on the Moodle platform for this example. H5P is designed with minimal platform-specific (and mostly Javascript) code, it is fairly stress-free to embed, wherever you’re working. Below is a graphical representation of the growing amount of websites using the H5P plugin for the Moodle platform.

How can you interact with H5P tool in LMS
You can interact with the H5P tool in an LMS by creating, gamified, interactive, and easily accessible learning activities. For example, the interactive videos of content hosted on YouTube specifically created for a class can be reused by adding interactive questions. As the student watches the video at specific times (in the video), the student can respond by choosing an answer in real-time and receiving the total score achieved at the end of the video. This promotes interest as a traditional method of evaluation is improved by using it as a dynamic interactive learning tool. Click on the links below to interact with some of these examples.
